Free medical device translation tools
Choose the regulatory document you need to translate. Every tool returns a free, layout-preserving five-page PDF draft, with task-specific guidance for IFUs, labels, technical dossiers, FDA documents, and submissions.
One translation engine, five purpose-built tools
Start on the page that matches your document. The translator is shared, while the preparation, review checks, official sources, and next step are specific to the regulatory job.
IFU translation
Translate medical device instructions for use while retaining the PDF layout.
Open free toolLabel translation

Translate a medical device PDF
A draft is useful. It is not a certified submission.
Medical device translation is determined by the target market, document type, intended user, and submission purpose. EU Member States set language requirements for information supplied with devices; Canada applies English and French labeling rules in defined circumstances; FDA expects English or an accurate English translation for specified submission material.
Use the free PDF as a scoping draft. Before release or submission, verify missing or added text, terminology consistency, warnings, numbers, units, product names, model and UDI identifiers, tables, OCR uncertainty, and whether the market requires a certified, sworn, or locally reviewed translation.

What the free preview does and does not do
Microsoft Document Translation preserves document structure and presentation, so the draft keeps the original layout. Complex scans, handwritten content, layered graphics, unusual fonts, tables, and text embedded in images can still require manual correction.
- Is this a certified medical translation?
- No. The downloadable PDF is an unreviewed machine-translation draft. Certified, sworn, notarized, or authority-ready translations require the appropriate qualified human translator and market-specific review.
- How much of my document is translated for free?
- The tool translates pages 1 through 5. If the source PDF is shorter, it translates the whole file. Longer PDFs are physically trimmed before they are sent to Microsoft, so pages after page 5 are not processed.
- Are uploaded files stored?
- The preview uses temporary processing storage and deletes source and translated files after the response. Do not upload patient-identifiable, export-controlled, or confidential information to a free public tool.
