There are many ways to reach out to the underserved communities in regards to medical translations. The purpose of this presentation is to quickly explain a few methods of which this can be accomplished.

INTRODUCTION

FLYERS

Flyers are known for being throw-away marketing tools because they have a low production cost but cover a lot of ground. The benefit of these are that they cover a lot of ground and therefore can pique interest from individuals based on a the sheer volume of people that will come in contact with the flyer.

Brochures have a different intention than that of flyers, the big difference being that unlike flyers brochures are meant to be kept. They have a higher production cost but also give the ability to share a lot more information than a flyer would be able to. Brochures are a great option when you want to educate an audience about a product or service.

BROCHURES

PAMPHLETS

Pamphlets and brochures are often times confused for one another. However, the distinctive difference between the two is that pamphlets are used on a non-commercial capacity, they are meant to advocate a point of view or share educational content to the reader. Underserved communities can often benefit from pamphlets that educate on issues such as preventative medicine specializing in women’s health, birth, etc.

NEW SERVICES OR PROGRAMS

Proofreading exists in order to ensure quality and accuracy. However, by applying a second round of proofreading clients can take comfort in knowing that their translations are foolproof. This can be quite useful for clients who have very formal and/or sensitive projects at hand.

CLOSING

Medical translations can be shared with underserved communities via flyers, brochures, pamphlets, and new programs and services to name a few methods. Each method has its pros and cons, however, being aware of the various methods of reaching out can really help in an outreach campaign.

Translating technical material requires more than technical dictionaries. It requires experience.

The Language Link of CT has teams of technical translators with backgrounds and degrees in engineering and most important of all, experience.
