Medical translation: Chinese to English translation of a cleaning validation report for an injection production plant

Last Friday, I received a "Cleaning Validation Report," which is about 10,000 words long. I was responsible for translating around 5,000 words from Chinese to English, which took up my entire weekend. Here’s a rough outline of the content:

1. Overview:

After the production of a certain injectable solution, the relevant production equipment was wiped down and cleaned according to established procedures. Once the cleaning was completed, the effectiveness was verified through visual inspection and sampling tests.

2. Purpose:

The aim is to detect any drug residues on the cleaned equipment using visual inspection, wipe sampling, and rinse sampling methods, effectively eliminating any contamination from the previous batch to the next, thereby ensuring the quality of the pharmaceuticals.

3. Scope:

This validation applies to the cleaning verification conducted in the production workshop and equipment for a specific injectable solution.

4. Validation Team and Responsibilities:

This includes members from the validation department, quality assurance, production center, quality control, and the quality management lead.

5. Basis for Validation Document Preparation

6. Pre-Validation Preparations

6.1. Confirmation of Relevant Documents:

Ensure that the relevant cleaning SOPs have been executed.

6.2. Personnel Training Confirmation:

Check the training records of production and inspection personnel.

6.3. Utility System Confirmation: Confirm the operational status of the cleanroom purification system, nitrogen system, and purified water system.

6.4. Confirmation of Relevant Production Equipment: Verify the operational status of key equipment in each workshop (including reactors, mixing tanks, centrifuges, vacuum dryers, industrial chromatography control systems, fume hoods, medical refrigerators, etc.).

6.5. Inspection Instrument Confirmation: Review the calibration records of inspection instruments (analytical balances, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography systems, pH meters, etc.) to ensure they are within the calibration validity period.

7. Validation Content

7.1. List of Co-linear Equipment (including names, numbers, materials, and unit areas of 18 types of equipment).
7.2. Identify the most challenging areas of equipment for cleaning and sampling locations (the table specifies sampling locations, materials, sampling methods, positioning criteria, testing items, sample volumes, and sample numbers; along with illustrations of sampling locations).

7.3. Determine the sampling methods (primarily using visual inspection, rinse water, and swab techniques).

7.4. Define the verification subjects (including the name of the injection solution, batch number, main components, and solubility; as well as the name of co-linear products, minimum batch size, acceptable daily exposure limit, corresponding formulation's minimum daily dose, corresponding formulation's maximum daily dose, and solubility).

7.5. Establish limit standards (including wipe/rinse sampling limits and visual inspection standards).

7.6. Specify sampling tools (centrifuge tubes).

7.7. Determine testing methods.

7.8. Confirm drug residue sampling methods (including basis and validation results).

7.9. Outline the cleaning validation process (cleaning operation standards, storage time requirements, and confirmation of cleaning effectiveness).

8. Manage deviations during the validation process.

9. Evaluate and provide recommendations on validation conclusions.

10. Conduct re-validation.

11. Attachments.

Attachment 1: Risk assessment.

Attachment 2: Post-production equipment storage records.

Attachment 3: Visual inspection results.

Hey! So, I stumbled upon something super interesting about how AI can help with editing letters for foreign trade.



Check this out, here’s a draft of an English letter:
"We are writing to inform you of additional information related to a previous customer notice. You received a notification dated March 24, 2022, indicating the rebranding of our company from A to B to reflect the combined products, services, and industry expertise of our collective organization.
For the past several months we have been working on changing our company’s name while minimizing production and supply disruption of materials to our customers. We are in the final stages of that change so we want to make you aware of the few last differences you will see before this transition is fully completed."






Now, here’s a more natural Chinese translation:
想跟你聊聊我们之前提到的名字变更的一些新消息。你可能还记得,我们在2022年3月24日发过一封通知,告诉大家我们公司从A改名为B。这次改名是为了更好地反映我们合并后的产品、服务和行业专长。
这几个月来,我们一直在忙着改公司的名字,同时尽量不影响客户的生产和供应。现在,我们快到最后阶段了,所以想让你知道在这个过渡期结束之前,你会看到的一些变化。



And then, here comes the magic of AI editing:

What’s awesome is that it can adjust the tone. Check this out:

AI’s formal tone:
我谨此期望与您探讨一番我们先前提及的关于名字变更的若干补充信息。想必您仍有印象,我们于 2022 年 3 月 24 日曾发布一则正式通知,向诸位宣告本公司由 A更名为 B 。此次更名旨在更为妥帖地反映本公司合并后的产品、服务以及行业专业知识。在过去的数月当中,我们始终竭力推进公司名称的变更事宜,同时尽最大可能降低对客户生产和供应方面造成的影响。现今,我们已然迈入最终阶段,故而特此告知您,在这个过渡时期结束之前,您将会目睹的一些变化。



AI’s casual tone:
我想跟你讲讲之前说的名字变更的一些新消息。你可能还记得,2022 年 3 月 24 日的时候,我们发了个通知,跟大家说我们公司从 A 改成了 B 。这次改名是为了能把我们公司合并后的产品、服务还有行业专业知识体现得更好。这几个月来,我们一直在忙着改公司名字,同时也尽量不让这事儿影响给客户的生产和供应。现在呢,我们已经到最后一步了,所以想让你晓得在这个过渡阶段结束之前,你会看到的一些变化。



AI’s polite tone:
我诚心想与您交流一下我们此前提及的有关名字变更的一些额外信息。或许您还记得,在 2022 年 3 月 24 日,我们曾发布过一则通知,告知大家我们公司已从 A 更名为 B 。此次改名的目的在于能够更出色地展现我们公司合并后的产品、服务以及行业专业知识。在过去的几个月里,我们一直努力推进公司名字的更改工作,同时尽可能地降低对客户生产和供应方面的影响。如今,我们已然步入最终阶段,所以希望您能知晓在这个过渡时期结束之前,您将会目睹的一些变化。



In real life, AI and human translation don’t have to be rivals. They can totally team up! For quick translations of simple stuff, you can use AI to whip up a draft fast, and then a human translator can fine-tune it. But for those important documents and literary pieces that need a lot of cultural touch, we still count on the careful work of human translators.



So, in a nutshell, AI is shaking things up in the translation game, bringing new chances and challenges. But the value of human translation is still one-of-a-kind. Moving forward, the teamwork between the two will definitely light up the future of translation!

Medical Translation: the Postdoctoral Work Agreement



Last Friday evening, I translated a postdoctoral work agreement, converting about 2,700 characters from Chinese to English. This task took one day. The document primarily outlines key details about the involved parties—four in total. These include Party A's research station, Party B's training institution (a hospital), Party C's supervising mentor, and Party D, the postdoctoral fellow. It covers the stipulations of the agreement, outlines Party D's responsibilities, details the rights and obligations of each party, and sets the terms for amendments, termination, evaluations, early termination, extensions, liability for breaches, and economic compensation.
