Research Translation Services: Make Your Findings Clear, Credible, and Actionable

The Government of Canada has recently committed over $638 million to science, research, and innovation initiatives across the country, supporting global research competitiveness. An important part of global research is for it to be understood by the right people and in the right language. Research translation services play a crucial role in bridging the gap between research findings and their application in policy and practice. Professional translation services help you accelerate the impact of translational science and research on real-world well-being.

At JR Language Translation Services Canada, we help marketing teams, graduate researchers, clinical practice managers, and public sector leaders share their results with confidence. Our multilingual translations ensure accurate knowledge transfer to relevant stakeholders internationally, which is essential for reliable data collection. The goal is to maintain meaning and protect data quality. Our research translation team makes your message usable for global and local innovations.

Beyond Basic Research: When You Need Professional Translators

• You are fielding a multi-country study and need equivalent survey wording in French, Spanish, Arabic, or Mandarin.
• You’re preparing clinical materials that must be readable by participants and acceptable to ethics boards.
• You’re sharing a policy brief with a public audience and require English versions and French translations following the same high-quality standards.

Demystifying Research Translation: Why Quality Matters More Than Ever

• Integrity of data: A single mistranslated term can change a statistical conclusion or create bias in a questionnaire. Good translation preserves the researcher’s intent and the study’s validity. It is essential to ensure that relevant evidence and guidelines are accurately conveyed in translation to maintain the integrity of research findings at different stages.
• Participant understanding and ethics: Informed consent is only informed when people truly understand it. Canada’s research ethics policy (TCPS 2) states that key information must be conveyed in a way participants can understand. Translating guidelines and evidence is crucial to ensure participants receive relevant information for ethical decision-making.
• Comparability across languages: For market research, wording must keep the original “spirit” so results remain comparable across regions. For academic and medical purposes, terminology must remain consistent from start to finish.
• Journal, regulator, and stakeholder expectations: Public-facing document translations in federal contexts often require bilingual delivery (English and French) with equal quality and clarity.

Research Findings Teams: Who Uses Translational Research

Marketing and Insights Teams

You need survey instruments, discussion guides, and reports that read naturally in each market. Marketing translation services preserve comparability, allowing you to trust the numbers and the story.

Graduate Students and Faculty

You want journal-ready prose, accurate terminology, and citations that survive across languages. Formatting, tables, figures, and appendices must travel cleanly.

Healthcare, Clinical Trials, and Life Sciences

Precision matters for medical translations. Clinical protocols, consent forms, COAs, and publications must be clear to participants, regulators, and clinicians. Errors risk ethics, safety, and compliance.

Key Terms & Research Translation: How We Help Your Initiatives

Academic research translation

Theses and dissertations. Journal articles and conference papers. Grant proposals and ethics submissions. We ensure that citations, tables, figures, footnotes, and supplementary files are aligned and readable in the target language, without altering your argument or voice.

Academic research translation supports the creation and dissemination of knowledge and education across languages. These help make new findings, program trainings, and educational materials accessible to a global audience.

Medical and clinical research translation

Clinical trial protocols, including the testing of new treatments in clinical trials, patient information and consent, investigator brochures, outcome measures, and case report forms. We pair domain-expert linguists with rigorous review so content is accurate, readable, and compliant.

Accurate translation supports the development of new treatments and ensures that patients receive clear, understandable information throughout the clinical research process. We support the importance of excellent health research utilization, ensuring that research findings are applied in practice and policy to improve people’s health outcomes.

Market research translation

Screeners and questionnaires. Discussion guides and moderator notes. Showcards and stimuli. Transcripts and toplines. These are some examples of where marketing research is used. We tailor phrasing for each audience while protecting intent, tone, and measurement goals. You can compare results across languages with confidence.

Market research translation also ensures that research findings are relevant and accessible to diverse populations and communities, allowing each community to be effectively engaged and represented in the research process.
