Brazilian Portuguese medical and life sciences localization
In medical content, accuracy is patient safety. We localize clinical, regulatory, and patient facing materials into Brazilian Portuguese with native linguists who understand medical terminology and Brazilian conventions, under strict confidentiality.
Audit sample
Take one tablet twice daily with food.
Generic / machine
“Tome um comprimido duas vezes ao dia com comida.”
“com comida” is informal for a medication leaflet, where Brazilian conventions expect precise patient facing wording.
LingoBraz, native PT-BR
“Tomar um comprimido duas vezes ao dia, durante as refeições.”
Infinitive instruction and “durante as refeições” match Brazilian medication leaflet conventions.
Why it matters
Why medical localization for Brazil leaves no room for error
Medical and pharmaceutical content is read by patients, clinicians, and regulators, and a mistranslation can affect safety, compliance, and approval. Brazil also has its own regulatory framework and conventions, including ANVISA, that shape how materials must read.
We localize with linguists who know medical and life sciences terminology, keeping it precise and consistent across every document. Clinical and regulatory material is handled under NDA, with a defined review step, because the stakes are too high for anything less.

Questions
Common questions about Medical & Life Sciences localization
Do your linguists have medical and life sciences expertise?+
Yes. Medical content is localized by native linguists with healthcare and life sciences experience, not general translators, because terminology and safety demand it.
Do you understand ANVISA and Brazilian regulatory conventions?+
We localize regulatory and patient materials with Brazilian conventions, including ANVISA, in mind, and flag anything that needs formal regulatory sign off on your side.
How do you protect confidential clinical data?+
Under NDA as standard, with controlled handling and a defined review step for clinical and regulatory documents.
Can you keep medical terminology consistent across a study?+
Yes. We maintain a medical glossary and translation memory for your product or study, so terminology stays consistent across every document.
Why not use European Portuguese for medical content?+
Brazilian and European Portuguese differ in medical terminology and conventions. European materials read as foreign and can introduce ambiguity where precision matters most.
