AI-Powered Translation
Translate medical Instructions for Use faster and more accurately
Up to 60% faster translations
AI drafts significantly accelerate the translation process. Your specialist translators do not start from scratch but refine high-quality suggestions — focusing on what truly matters.
Medical terminology integrated
The AI accesses your company-specific terminology database in real time. Product names, regulatory terms, and medical terminology are translated correctly and consistently from the start.
Quality assurance from the start
Even the AI draft undergoes automatic quality checks: completeness, terminology consistency, and formatting fidelity are ensured before human review.
How it works
Upload source document
Upload your Instruction for Use to manualworks. The system automatically detects the document structure, extracts translatable segments, and matches existing terminology and translation memory hits.
Generate AI draft
With one click, the AI creates a complete translation draft for all selected target languages. Your glossary, translation memory, and industry-specific expertise are automatically incorporated.
Review and approve
Qualified specialist translators review the AI draft in the integrated editor, make corrections, and approve the translation. All changes are fully documented in the audit trail.
Why AI-Powered Translation for Medical Devices?
Translating Instructions for Use (IFUs) for medical devices presents companies with unique challenges. The EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745) requires that Instructions for Use be provided in the official language of each target market — in impeccable quality and with correct medical terminology. At the same time, time pressure is increasing: products must be launched into new markets quickly without compromising translation quality.
manualworks solves this dilemma by using specialized AI language models trained specifically on medical texts and regulatory documents. Unlike general translation tools, our AI understands the context of medical Instructions for Use and takes industry-specific requirements into account.
How AI Translation Works
The translation process begins with an intelligent analysis of your source document. manualworks automatically segments the text, detects headings, warnings, tables, and lists, and fully preserves the document structure. The system then matches each segment against your translation memory and terminology glossary.
For segments without an exact match, the AI generates a translation suggestion based on the medical language model, the document context, and your company-specific preferences. The result is a complete translation draft that already exhibits high baseline quality.
Human and Machine Working Together
manualworks follows a human-in-the-loop approach: the AI creates drafts, and qualified specialist translators review and finalize them. This workflow combines the best of both worlds — the speed and consistency of AI with the expertise and judgment of human language specialists.
In the integrated editor, translators see the source text and AI draft side by side. Changes are saved in real time, and the QA system continuously checks for terminology consistency, completeness, and formatting fidelity. The result is a translation that meets the highest regulatory standards.
Benefits for Your Organization
With AI-powered pre-translation, you reduce the translation cycle by up to 60%. Your specialist translators work more efficiently because they build on high-quality drafts. At the same time, you benefit from consistent terminology across all documents and product families — a decisive factor for regulatory compliance and user safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are AI-generated translations for medical texts?+
manualworks AI translations achieve high baseline quality thanks to specialized medical language models and integrated terminology databases. Every translation is created as a draft and then goes through a structured review process by qualified specialist translators. The AI serves as a powerful assistant that accelerates the translation process — final quality assurance remains with the human reviewer.
Can the AI also consider regulatory requirements such as the MDR?+
Yes. Our AI models are trained on the specific requirements of the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745). They account for mandatory wording, warnings, and symbol definitions according to EN ISO 15223-1. Additionally, the integrated QA system automatically checks whether all mandatory regulatory information is present in the translation.
