Frequently Asked Questions on Medical Terms
How do I translate medical terms with AI?
Upload your document and our AI provides an initial translation. Refine it with our editor and glossaries — an accurate, efficient way to translate medical terminology.
How do you handle specific medical terminology?
Create glossaries to define how specific terms — from 'antiemetic' to 'vasospasm' — are translated. You set the rule once, and the platform applies it consistently everywhere.
What are the steps in translating medical terms?
Three stages: 1) AI translation for a fast, consistent first draft; 2) human review by a subject-matter expert; 3) finalization of feedback. Smartcat supports all three in one platform.
Can I manage my own terminology?
Yes. Build and reuse glossaries for complex terms so translations stay consistent across projects — like a living, project-specific terminology reference.
How does it handle highly technical terms?
Our AI understands context, so specialized terms are rendered correctly for the field, and expert reviewers confirm nuance where it matters.
How do you ensure security and compliance?
Smartcat is SOC 2 Type II compliant with end-to-end encryption, keeping your sensitive medical documents and data secure.
Can I translate terms into plain language for patients?
Yes. With AI and expert reviewers, you can render terms technically for professionals or in plain language for patients — for example, 'hypoglycemic' for a clinician and 'low blood sugar' for a patient.
How do you handle difficult surgical terms?
Glossaries are key. Specify exactly how technical or surgical terms should be translated, so you always get the right, consistent result.
