Back-translation, as a named step
For the highest-stakes material — clinical trial documents, patient consent forms, MDR/IVDR-facing labelling — the Regulatory tier adds back-translation: an independent linguist translates the Spanish version back into the source language, and we compare it against your original to confirm meaning survived the round trip. This is a step generalist agencies rarely name, let alone sell separately; here, it’s a line item you can point to.

We confirm the document type, the intended market and whether MDR/IVDR-aware handling applies.

Independent revision against the source and against relevant regulatory terminology.
(Regulatory tier only) A second, independent linguist translates the result back into the source language; we compare both versions and flag any drift.

Frequently asked questions
What is back-translation, and when do I actually need it?
It's translating the finished translation back into the source language, independently, to verify the meaning held. It's most valuable for consent forms, clinical protocols and anything a regulator or ethics committee will scrutinise — it's built into the Regulatory tier for exactly that reason.
Do you work with MDR/IVDR-facing documentation?
Yes — the Regulatory tier is built around that register. Tell us the target market and device classification when you order so terminology is matched correctly.
Can you handle a patient leaflet in several languages at once?
Yes — scope each target language as a separate line; we'll confirm one turnaround date across the set if you need them delivered together.
How is clinical trial data handled?
Under the same confidentiality commitment as every order, with access limited to the linguists assigned to your project.
Do you translate for submission to the EMA or AEMPS?
We translate the documents to the standard those submissions require; the filing itself is handled by your regulatory affairs team.
