With the deepening of globalization, the biomedical field has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities, and language translation has become a bridge connecting the domestic and international biomedical industries. To ensure the continuous rise of China's biomedical industry on the international stage, the task of biomedical translation is particularly important. It can be said that the speed and quality of biomedical translation directly affect the pace of development of the entire industry. So, what makes biomedical translation difficult? And what specific requirements are there for translators?

　　Compared to ordinary translations in daily life, biomedical translation is more challenging due to its professionalism and scientific nature, and the requirements for translators are stricter. Besides having a solid language foundation, translators also need to possess professional knowledge in the biomedical field. Therefore, it is crucial to build a professional translation team that is proficient in both language and biomedicine. Meanwhile, in today's rapidly changing information technology landscape, we can also leverage technical means such as big data analysis and databases to enhance the efficiency and quality of biomedical translations.

　　Here are several key skills that biomedical translators need to master:

　　1.Familiarity with professional terminology and vocabulary

　　The biomedical field is filled with a large number of complex and rapidly updating professional terms. Translators must accurately grasp the meanings and usages of these terms to ensure the accuracy and professionalism of the translation. To achieve this, translators need to continuously learn, updating and expanding their professional vocabulary by reading professional literature and participating in academic seminars. At the same time, they should also keep abreast of the latest developments in the biomedical field to ensure that their knowledge system is synchronized with industry development.

　　2.Cultural sensitivity and expressive ability

　　Biomedical translation is not just a conversion of words but also a cultural exchange. Different countries and regions have differences in medical concepts, patient care, ethics, and other aspects, which must be considered in translation. Translators should have a deep understanding of the medical culture of the target language country and avoid using vocabulary and expressions that may cause misunderstanding or offense. At the same time, they need to flexibly handle cultural differences to make the translation natural and fluent in the target language culture, easy to understand.

　　3.Maintaining high concentration and rigor

　　Biomedical translation places extremely high demands on the translator's concentration and rigor. Any minor error may have a significant impact on patients' health. Therefore, translators must be fully concentrated during the translation process, carefully checking every term, every number, and every punctuation mark to ensure the accuracy of the translation. In addition, they need to develop good proofreading habits, improving translation quality through multiple reviews and revisions. At the same time, establishing personal terminology databases and translation memory banks can help improve work efficiency and translation consistency.

　　In summary, biomedical translation is a highly challenging task with stringent requirements for translators. To be competent for this job, translators must be rigorous and serious, deeply study the biomedical field, and continuously improve their professional competence and translation skills.
