Medical Document Translation — Beyond Language
Word-for-word translation leaves foreign medical records clinically useless. TranslateMD maps procedure codes, drug names, notation systems, and healthcare logic across national frameworks — so a German dental plan actually makes sense to a US dentist.

Why Word-for-Word Translation Fails Medicine
Healthcare systems don't share a common language — they share similar concepts expressed in incompatible frameworks.
Different Code Systems
Germany uses ICD-10-GM, the US uses ICD-10-CM — same base code, different extensions, different valid codes, different clinical meaning.
Dental procedures: BEMA/GOZ in Germany, CDT in the US. Tooth numbering: FDI in Europe and Asia, Universal in the US.
Different Drug Names
Paracetamol (Europe) is Acetaminophen (US). Voltaren (brand) is Diclofenac (generic). OTC in Germany might require a prescription in the US.
Drug safety status varies by country. Missing this creates patient safety risk.
Different Healthcare Logic
Germany's statutory insurance (GKV) coverage rules don't map to US private insurance. Thai DRG grouper logic differs from German DRG.
Structure and context matter as much as the words on the page.
Supported Document Types
Every document type has its own code system, terminology, and structural conventions. TranslateMD handles each correctly.
Dental Treatment Plans
DE → US · JP → US · KR → USFDI notation (used in DE, JP, KR, AE) mapped to Universal Numbering (US) and Palmer notation (GB). BEMA/GOZ procedure codes crosswalked to CDT automatically.
Prescriptions & Medication Lists
DE → US · MX → US · IN → USBrand-to-generic and generic-to-brand drug name mapping across countries. ATC codes to NDC (US) and PZN (Germany). OTC vs. prescription status differences flagged.
Discharge Summaries
DE → US · TH → US · TR → USICD-10 diagnosis codes mapped between national variants — CM (US), GM (Germany), TM (Thailand), and WHO base. Procedure codes converted with clinical context preserved.
Lab Results & Imaging Reports
DE → US · IN → US · BR → USReference ranges normalized for target country standards. Units converted (mmol/L ↔ mg/dL). Clinical terminology translated with system-aware context.
