Hey there, My name is Thomas (37), born and raised in Vienna. The past few years I managed my own projects (Own Online Store, Building a team for a SaaS company) which made me an expert in: - Content Management (Adaptions in Wordpress, Proofreading ger/eng,...) - Research (i.e companies in different niches, etc.) - Consultation about shops (How to write Shipping details, Terms of service, etc.) - Translation from strings (either word by word but often with sense to keep the meaning) All in all I would call me an allrounder. Love to take on new tasks where I can learn something new while on the job. I am highly communicative, which leads to a lot of questions in the beginning of our journey. I just want to be sure to get all the details to get the job done as good as possible. Would love to hear from you, Thomas

Medical Translators Hiring FAQs

What is a medical translator?

A medical translator is an individual who is tasked with translating documents, such as training materials, medical bulletins, drug data sheets, and more, in the medical industry. Upwork offers access to medical translators who use their skills to translate documents for medical devices, clinical research, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare into the language where the item or information is being used. 

How do you hire a medical translator?

You can source medical translator talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a medical translator.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview medical translators. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of medical translator you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire a medical translator?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced medical translator may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their medical translating services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a medical translator job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

  • Need help translating ventilator instructions from English to Japanese
  • Need medical translator to assist telehealth physician when speaking with immigrants

Project description

An effective medical translator job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From translating medical jargon to using a variety of communication devices, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain languages, devices, or environments, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Medical translator job responsibilities
