Case Study: a leading scientific publisher expands access to medical information with Ulatus multilingual translation

Leading Scientific Publisher localizes 424,000 medical words into 12 languages with Ulatus

A leading scientific publisher required a multilingual translation solution to make its Plain Language Summary Publication (PLSP) articles on diverse medical topics accessible to a global audience. They needed to localize this content into 12 languages and faced challenges in finding expert medical translators, adapting content for different cultures and healthcare systems, and managing a complex review process while maintaining strict formatting consistency. The publisher partnered with Ulatus for its translation, editing, and desktop publishing services.

Ulatus implemented a strategic solution that included appointing a dedicated project manager, hand-picking specialized medical translators, and using a collaborative tracking system to integrate client feedback efficiently. Their in-house DTP team ensured all 12 language versions maintained perfect visual consistency with the source material. As a result, Ulatus successfully translated over 424,000 words, greatly improving accessibility and comprehension for diverse language communities and leading to a continued fruitful partnership with the client.
