Who we are

MedicTranslate Co., Ltd. (株式会社MedicTranslate) is based in Kobe, Japan. Representative Director: S.M. Ali Motahari. Office: c/o SHINKA Hyogo, 56 Naniwamachi, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0035.

We are a language and coordination company. We are not a clinic, a law firm or a government authority.

How your translation is checked

We use approved translation and AI tools to help prepare drafts. Every translation is checked by a person before delivery.

For medical documents, a translator with medical terminology experience prepares the translation and a second person reviews it before delivery. Where part of a document cannot be read, we ask you to confirm it instead of guessing.

Human review does not guarantee that every document will be error-free.

If something is not right

Email [email protected] with your order reference and tell us what is wrong. Please send correction requests within 7 days of delivery.

If a translation we deliver materially falls short because of our error, we will, subject to applicable law, use reasonable efforts to correct the affected part at no extra professional fee. This does not cover changes of preference or new content. Our Terms of Use set out the details.

For complaints, in normal circumstances we aim to acknowledge your message within 3 business days and to give you a substantive response within 30 days. Your legal consumer rights are not affected.

Medication assessments

Our assessment is preliminary and informational. It is based on the information you give us and on guidance published by the Japanese authorities. It is not an approval or a permit, and we cannot guarantee approval.

Decisions about bringing medicine into Japan rest with the Japanese authorities, and you complete and submit any application in your own name.

Your documents and data
  • We recommend our secure Platform upload for medical documents instead of ordinary email.
  • Customer records and uploaded documents for our Japan services are stored in Tokyo, Japan. Some providers we use, including AI tool providers, process data or keep logs in the United States, the EU or Australia, and our staff in Australia may access records. Our Privacy Policy lists the providers.
  • Medical documents and finished translations are removed from our active customer-service environment (the systems we use day to day) within 7 days after delivery or project closure. Exceptions apply for an authorised extension, a dispute or a legal hold. Backups and provider logs are kept longer. Please save your translation when you receive it.
  • Files for unpaid translation enquiries are removed after 14 days. Unpaid medication assessment records are de-identified (identifying details are removed) 60 days after they are created.
  • You can ask us to delete your information at any time, including through "Delete My Data" on platform.medictranslate.com. Unpaid assessment records are deleted once you confirm. Paid records, transactions and translation jobs are reviewed by our staff, and some records are kept.
  • We do not sell or rent personal information. We do not use identifiable customer medical documents to train MedicTranslate's own general-purpose AI models.
Clear prices

Our rates are published on the Pricing page. We tell you the price and the expected delivery time before any work begins.
