Pharmaceutical companies are required to submit large volumes of application documents to the local regulatory authorities during the overseas registration and application process. Whether it is the clinical trial stage or the drug research and development stage, document translation is generally required to be completed to a higher level of professional competence, to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. EC Innovations is committed to providing you with high-quality, professional translation services, in an accurate and compliant manner, for your application dossiers.
We have helped many of the world’s leading medical device and pharmaceutical companies in their successful submission of multiple IND/NDA/BLA/ANDA and other application dossiers (chemical drugs, biological products):
• Pharmaceutical patent application materials, GMP certification materials
• Patient information leaflets (PILs), patient-reported outcomes (PROs)
• Other documents such as Summaries of product characteristics (SmPCs), labels and packages, website content, training and education documentation, etc.
The electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) format is the standard submission format for master files and also the format designated by US FDA and Health Canada for the submission of master files such as DMF and ASMF. Submission of a US or EU DMF registration requires the preparation of eCTD documents and we can assist companies in preparing documents to obtain DMF registration codes. eCTD offers many advantages over traditional registration submissions, especially in terms of the creation, review, archiving, retrieval, reuse, and management of registration documents. eCTD improves efficiency, reduces costs, and adds convenience for both pharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies.
Our professional DTP team provides regulatory-compliant formatting support to ensure your eCTD files are submitted on time. Formatting support includes:
• Bookmarks, links, hypertext
• Word file style adjustment
• Overall content such as table of contents, tables, figures, appendices, etc.
• Embedded fonts, etc.
In today’s globalized life sciences industry, high-quality life sciences translation can assist medical companies in expanding into target markets and accelerating their globalization process. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure quality control at each step of the life sciences translation process. During project implementation, strict quality control and adequate evaluation and error correction after translation can minimize translation errors to improve translation efficiency and quality, thereby helping companies achieve their own development goals.
In-country review (ICR), also known as third-party review or client review, is an important procedure to ensure the quality of life sciences translation. Following completion of translation, the client requires a subject matter expert (SME) familiar with the life sciences industry and products, who is also a native speaker of the target language to serve as an in-country reviewer to ensure that the translated language and information meet regulatory compliance requirements.
Every industry and organization has its own unique terminology, which not only sets a professional threshold for translators, but also poses risks to the translation process. Terminology management is the process of defining, translating, and approving technical terms to ensure the accuracy and consistency of multilingual content. With long-term terminology management, life sciences companies are able to deliver multilingual content faster and better, ensuring translation quality and compliance.
EC Innovations has a professional life sciences team and industry subject matter experts who can maintain and produce professional and compliant terminology lists for you, as well as synchronize terms for multilingual translation projects through ECI’s TBMS system to improve the effectiveness of terminology management and bring down translation costs.
The translation of pharmaceutical patents calls for unwavering professionalism and accuracy. Your service provider for pharmaceutical patent translation should possess extensive experience in the life sciences industry and an abundance of high-quality translator resources. The translator must also have the ability to discern subtle differences between legal concepts, while also having a high-level ability of professional technical writing.
For life science companies aspiring to expand globally, e-learning is quickly emerging as an essential tool for sharing knowledge, conducting training, and communicating company updates and changes. The key to successful e-learning lies in the effective dissemination of teaching content and fruitful interactions between teachers and learners. However, even in the era of Web 2.0, over 75% of global information remains inaccessible due to language barriers. Professional translation and localization services are indispensable for facilitating access to knowledge and corporate information for your students, employees, and even customers worldwide.
EC Innovations has years of experience in multimedia and e-learning localization. Our professional life science translation and multimedia engineering teams deliver reliable and accurate translation and localization services for your course materials and e-learning systems. Our services eliminate linguistic and cultural obstacles for learners around the world and enhance engagement by ensuring that course information can be understood by all learners.
EC Innovations provides life sciences companies with a wide array of multilingual desktop publishing (DTP) services including formatting and graphic design for pharmaceutical product registration documents, operation manuals, technical documentation, marketing collateral, online documentation, and training materials. Our DTP experts specialize in life sciences and are well-equipped to provide you with top-quality, professional DTP services delivered to the highest quality standards.
Over the past years, we have served hundreds of top companies from across the industry, developing a global network of highly-rated professional interpreters while perfecting our tailor-made interpretation solutions and service workflows and acquiring multiple ISO certifications. Drawing upon our extensive experience in organizing interpretation, strong resource network and coordination capabilities, and cutting-edge online and in-person cross-platform technology solutions, we are uniquely equipped to meet your interpretation needs no matter the event size, scenario, industry or language.
Machine translation (MT) automatically generates usable translations by conducting data analysis and probability comparison on a huge corpus. However, ensuring the accuracy of pure machine translations can be challenging, as the machine relies heavily on algorithms, corpus quantity and quality, context, and other factors. When MT is used to translate challenging technical documents in the life sciences industry, any inaccuracies in the output not only compromise the overall quality of the translation but also endanger the safety of patients and the integrity of clinical trial results.
EC Innovations’ machine translation + post-editing (MTPE) uniquely combines machine translation with existing high-quality terminology databases, translation memories, and manual proofreading. Project managers can automatically arrange batch manual proofreading of rapidly generated translations from the system through the ECI TBMS platform.
