Medical Translator (English into German)

We are looking for an individual freelance English into German Translator with experience in medical translations and, ideally, a medical background. If you’d like to help us translate our medical database and other products, we’d love to hear from you. We're committed to building an open and supportive environment where you can do your best work and develop your competencies. You will be working as an external Supplier, cooperating closely with our in-house Translations Team, together with another German Translator (already on board).

• Taking care of translation quality - translations are crucial for our products to work properly. Users rely on these translations when they describe symptoms and when they make healthcare decisions. Right now, we support 25+ languages, and we are continuously adding new ones.
• Working with medical content (and other types of content occasionally) - you will be translating and localizing our medical content, i.e., symptoms, conditions, risk factors, diagnostic questions, and more, applying your in-depth medical knowledge to convey terminology accurately and your language skills to write content that people understand. You will make sure that your translations are clear for both doctors and ordinary people without a medical background, and you will identify and address linguistic issues along the way. You will also be responsible for translating apps and product descriptions, as well as simple legal texts.

• At least 5 years of proven experience in medical translation

• Native fluency in German and working proficiency in English

• Excellent writing skills

• Ability to describe complex topics with simplicity and clarity

• Ability to work independently

• Experience with CAT tools and translation QA tools (we work in Crowdin)

• Experience in translating user interfaces will be considered an important asset

• Familiarity with and an understanding of the Plain Language concept will be a plus
