About Me

Medical and pharmaceutical translator

After teaching English in Mexico for two years, where I fully immersed myself in the Spanish language and Mexican culture, I decided to return to the UK to pursue my dream of becoming a translator.

In 2020, I completed my master’s degree in Applied Translation Studies at the University of Leeds and started my own business, Bell Johnson Translations, soon after graduating.

Content I translate

Given my lifelong interest in human anatomy and physiology, it’s no surprise that I specialise in medical and pharmaceutical translation.

I have translated a wide variety of documentation from birth and marriage certificates to autopsy reports, however the main bulk of my work consists of:

Medical research articles
Case reports and case series
Adverse event reports (particularly for vaccines)

This is how I manage terminology consistency in my area of expertise

Termbases

I have created and maintained individual termbases for each of my clients as well as for specific areas of medicine. This has enabled me to ensure consistency in all of my work, even when different terms are required.

This is how I continue my learning in my area of expertise

Continuing professional development (CPD)

CPD is a translator’s best friend. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to produce high quality translations in such specialist areas. I am committed to learning and regularly undertake monthly training in various areas of translation and medicine.

My professional methodology for a standard translation project is

Read the text

The first thing I do is read the source text (you would be surprised how many translators dive into the task without reading all of the text).

Then I ask myself these two fundamental questions:

Who is the translation aimed at?
What is the purpose of the translation?

These two questions provide the foundations for the translation task, which enables me to tailor the translation to the end reader’s requirements. For example, would it be more appropraite to use terms such as myocardial infarction or heart attack?

Self-revision

Once I have completed the translation, I always perform a self-bilingual-review of the text to ensure the accuracy and precision of the text.
