	CASE STUDY: Professional translation services for the healthcare industry Client: Leading Integrated Healthcare Organization Challenge: Global Language Solutions (GLS) was entrusted by a major healthcare organization for the ongoing translation of its patient education materials, such as brochures, newsletters, instructions, tip sheets, handouts, posters, and more. The documents ranged from one-page information flyers to comprehensive manuals. Special attention to the reading level and cultural appropriateness of the documents were imperative. Languages: English into Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Farsi, French, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Result: GLS' knowledge of the nuances specific to this highly regulated industry enabled it to provide the client with the effective and efficient translation services it required. As a result, the client benefited from access to the tools it needed to improve communication with its audience and remain compliant with the legal guidelines related to engaging with limited English proficient patients. Further, all translated documents adhered to a required sixth grade reading level, and language and image translations were appropriate to the target culture. The healthcare organization benefited from increased readability of its translated documents and avoided offending its audience through the use of culturally inappropriate phrases, symbols, or colors.
