Brazilian Portuguese medical translation

In medical content, accuracy is patient safety. We translate clinical, regulatory, and patient facing materials into Brazilian Portuguese with native linguists who know medical terminology and Brazilian conventions, including ANVISA, under strict confidentiality.

Audit sample

Take one tablet twice daily with food

Humanized PT-BR

Generic / machine

“Tome um comprimido duas vezes ao dia com alimentos”

Understandable, but “com alimentos” is not how Brazilian patient instructions phrase it, which matters for clarity and compliance.

LingoBraz, native PT-BR

“Tome um comprimido duas vezes ao dia, junto com as refeições”

Phrased the way Brazilian patient leaflets actually read, which is clearer for the patient and closer to local convention.

Why it matters

Where a mistranslation affects safety and approval

Medical and life sciences content is read by patients, clinicians, and regulators, and an error can affect safety, compliance, and approval, while Brazil also has its own regulatory framework and conventions, including ANVISA, that shape how materials must read. We translate with linguists who know medical and life sciences terminology, keeping it precise and consistent across every document, and 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 Translation localization

Do your linguists have medical expertise?+

Yes. Medical content is translated by native linguists with healthcare and life sciences experience, not general translators, because terminology and safety demand it.

Are you aware of ANVISA requirements?+

Yes. We translate regulatory and patient facing materials with Brazilian conventions in mind, including ANVISA, and recommend a regulatory review on your side for submissions.

Is confidentiality guaranteed?+

Yes. Clinical and regulatory work is handled under NDA, with a documented review step for high stakes material.

How is this different from your medical industry page?+

The industry page is about partnering with healthcare and life sciences companies as a vertical, while this page is the translation service itself, for the documents that work requires.
