Scientific Translation
& Research
Scientific articles, theses, patents, funding applications: our PhD researcher-translators guarantee absolute terminological accuracy and adhere to international publication conventions in 70+ languages.
Scientific translation:
rigour worthy of research
Scientific translation tolerates no approximation. A poorly translated term in an article can mislead the reader, jeopardise a discovery or invalidate a patent. It demands an in-depth knowledge not only of the language but also of the relevant scientific discipline.
At TranslateBE, our scientific translators are researchers and PhDs by training. They have published in peer-reviewed journals, worked in laboratories and command the editorial conventions and cutting-edge terminology of their discipline. Their translation is that of a peer, not an outside linguist.

Scientific disciplines covered
From biotechnology to nanoscience, from pharmacology to environmental science, our network covers every discipline.
Laboratory rigour applied to translation
Domain identification
We analyse the precise scientific discipline (biology, chemistry, physics, nanotechnology…) and document type to select the most qualified scientific translator for your speciality.
Expert researcher-translator
Your document is translated by a researcher or PhD specialist in your field, with experience in a laboratory, university or pharmaceutical or industrial company.
Scientific review
A second scientific expert verifies the terminology, data consistency, bibliographic references and adherence to the publication conventions specific to each discipline.
Delivery & publication formats
Delivery in the required format: Word, LaTeX, PDF, specialist journal formats. We comply with the typesetting requirements of the leading international scientific journals.
Your guarantees for scientific translation
PhD researcher-translators
Our scientific translators hold a doctorate or research master's degree in their field. They have published in international scientific journals and command the editorial conventions of their discipline.
70+ scientific languages
English, German, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian, Arabic, Korean and 60+ other languages. We cover all the major research countries: USA, UK, Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, Russia.
Adherence to publication standards
