Reliable quality management system and
overwhelming cost performance
At Human Science Co., Ltd., we have built our own quality management system based on various know-how gained through our experience, and provide it to our customers.
There is a definite reason why we are chosen in the field of medical expertise and reliability.
Cost Reduction with Machine Translation Tool Post-edit
Human Science provides translation services with a focus on machine translation in order to reduce translation costs.
However, machine translation alone cannot meet the quality standards of industries with specialized knowledge such as medical and medical equipment.
Therefore, post-editors with prior knowledge of the diagnostic and treatment procedures in which the translated medical equipment will be used ensure translation quality.
This system allows us to provide cost-effective translation services.

Translation support tool for Trados/Phrase TMS to shorten delivery time
In the pharmaceutical and medical fields, there are often cases where multiple translations of the same content are required or a large amount of translation needs to be completed in a short period of time. In such cases, it is necessary to have multiple translators working simultaneously and coordinating with each other at the task level.
At our company, we have established a system to manage projects while maintaining quality levels by having a dedicated contact person control multiple translators. We utilize translation support tools such as Trados, Phrase TMS, and MemoQ.
Shortened Delivery Examples
Clinical Trial Protocol 56,000 Word English to Japanese Translation
- For example, in the case of a 56,000-word English to Japanese translation, if it is done manually by one translator and reviewer without using translation support tools,
- ・Translation: 28 business days
・Review: 13 business days
・DTP proof: 3 business days
Total 45 business days - When using Trados/Phrase TMS
- ・Translation: 13 business days
・Review: 6 business days
・DTP Proof: 2 business days
Total of 22 business days and 52% reduction in delivery time
Thorough Quality Management
1. Full review by specialized reviewers
At Human Science Co., Ltd., we believe that one of the important elements that affects the quality of translation is the review (check) process after the translation work. Therefore, we have a system in place where experienced specialized reviewers (checkers) check the entire translation.
Through this process, we detect and correct any errors or mistakes made by the translator during the translation stage. In addition, we improve the accuracy of the translation from a professional perspective and contribute to stabilizing the overall translation quality by coordinating translations from multiple translators.

Training and Management of Translators and Post-editors
We have established specialized teams such as the "Standardization Promotion Committee" and the "Technical Promotion Committee" within our company, and we are working diligently to improve the skills of each staff member and establish and enforce standard processes for quality management and improvement.
1. Hiring translators and post-editors who meet the quality standard of 20% pass rate.
"Human Science has 150 translators and 75 post-editors on staff, and we conduct selection and trial screenings for specialized translators and post-editors in the industry.
Only contracted translators and post-editors who have been evaluated by native translation directors and their track record are assigned to projects.
We have strict criteria, with a pass rate of 20% for translators and 10% for post-editors.
With an average experience of over 5 years, we guarantee quality and peace of mind."
2. Centralized Management System for Translators through Database Implementation
We are establishing a system to provide feedback to all translators on the results of internal reviews after the completion of work.
During feedback, we not only evaluate the score, but also point out specific areas to the translator and provide examples for improvement, promoting continuous quality improvement.
In addition, the above feedback, as well as the translator's work record and evaluations (from clients and internal evaluations), are managed centrally through database management, allowing us to establish a system for selecting the best translators.
