Today, we are interviewing Iolanda, a professional medical freelance translator who gives us her point of view about medical translation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is the major medical translation problem you have ever faced?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Terminology is a big issue, especially that one related to specialised surgical instruments. Sometimes, you go mad looking for the exact equivalent term in the target language. For example, what is the equivalent medical translation for a clamp with a little hole placed to one third of its current length, and which is used for a very specific surgery of an implant placement…? Medical translation is very tricky.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Do you think that any translator can work as a medical translator? Why?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      No, absolutely not. Medical translation is not for everyone. This is a very specialised field having its own language, so a full knowledge is highly required. Avoiding fundamental mistakes<\/strong><\/a> and offering a full sense is key.<\/p>\n\r\n Medical translation is very tricky; not every translator can work as a medical translator
