The pharma sector in the UK is growing year on year, and is predicted to be worth over £200 billion by 2030. But how can companies in this industry be a part of this exceptional growth?
Well, from impactful marketing campaigns to trustworthy localised websites, many pharmaceutical businesses make use of translation services to communicate with customers and enhance their growth on an international scale.
So, let’s see what translation is, and how it can aid your organisation.
Before jumping into translation in a specific industry, let’s first define what translation is.
Translation is the process of adapting a piece of text from one language into another, all while ensuring the original message is communicated clearly and effectively.
Translation has positively impacted multiple industries, such as marketing, finance, manufacturing, and tourism – helping businesses enter global trade markets and reach audiences in multiple languages.
It is true that pharmaceutical content, including medical information, online booking forms, and product packaging, needs to be translated in order to meet the requirements of a new market.
However, accurate translation is also about building trust and establishing clear communication with international markets. Clients will not purchase your services or products if they don’t understand them on an intricate level, especially when it comes to healthcare.
In some situations, there are regional language laws that need to be met before a company can begin trading and marketing pharma products.
For example, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) used translation services when entering the Welsh marketplace.
By law, all services in Wales must be available in Welsh and English. Before RPS could begin trading in Wales, all medical information had to be bilingual. To do this RPS leaned on Wolfestone to ensure their content was inclusive and accessible to people who spoke Welsh.
Becoming a global company is an aspiration for all business owners. However, in an industry as complex as pharma, is it international expansion through translation achievable? The simple answer is yes!
Translation services can support the pharma industry when entering international markets, by translating and localizing your websites, packaging, and more. For UK businesses, German, Chinese, Dutch and French are particularly beneficial languages.
Incorporating multiple languages into your pharma content will allow your organisation to become a well-known brand that will build loyalty and trust amongst its customers.
The original language of the content will need to be changed to improve the growth and advertising of products and services in a new environment. From a business perspective, you must be able to communicate with your customers in a language they will understand to have the ability to grow relationships that will last.
Ultimately, brands are more trustworthy and credible when they communicate clearly in a consumer/client’s native language.
