The principle of medical translation service is to ensure professionalism and accuracy, especially when dealing with various medical literature materials, especially those involving experimental data and medical logic. The following are a few principles to pay attention to:
1. Faithfulness and accuracy:
Medical translation must accurately convey the meaning of the original text, especially when it comes to medical terms, experimental data and logical reasoning, the translation should maintain a high degree of accuracy and avoid any translation errors that may lead to misunderstandings.
