Based in Buenos Aires, translating medicine and pharmaceutical documents since 2000.
Medicine and pharmaceuticals account for almost all my work. Translations for national and international pharmaceutical companies, clinical research organizations (CROs) and translation agencies specialized in medicine and pharmaceuticals.

Associate Director at Medpace
First translation
I perform the initial conversion of the text into the target language.
Revision of content
I check the translation carefully, comparing each sentence against the source text to avoid any omissions or substantial errors. Additionally, I use several quality control applications to avoid numerical errors (dates, numbers, measurements), double spaces and other parameters, including spell check and grammar. Upon request, the more technical aspects of the document may be reviewed by a health-care professional.
Reading
At this final step, I read the translation directly, as if I were the document recipient, to make sure the text reads natural and that the layout looks nice.

THE TRANSLATION PROCESS
FAQ
How much does a translation cost?
The estimated cost of a translation can be usually calculated based on the number of words of the source document; however, I take into account the complexity of the document content and format. For example, if the document is uneditable, my services will probably be more expensive.
How long will it take to finish the translation?
As a reference, it takes me about one working day per 2,000 to 2,500 words to complete a translation. Once we agree on a deadline, I will always respect it.
What about confidentiality?
In this industry all documents are confidential. I am used to signing confidentiality agreements for my clients. My professional signature is supported by the Translators Association of Buenos Aires, in which I am registered as a translation professional.
