BOULDER, CO - February 11, 2010 - ENLASO Corporation, a provider of medical and life sciences translation and localization solutions, today announced that it has released a new case study describing best practices for streamlining localization and translation processes for consumer medical content.
The paper examines how ENLASO supported Healthwise—the leading provider of consumer health information—in helping to assure its rigorous quality measures, including:
- Accuracy.
- Plain language.
- A focus on decisions and action.
- An ability to keep pace with fast-paced changes in medicine.
- Efficient processes and workflow that successfully manage costs and resources.
ENLASO helped localize into Spanish the Healthwise® Handbook (a 350-page English-language publication with more than 27 million copies in print), the Healthwise Online Spanish Health Guide (an online resource with 300 health topics), and Healthwise Ix Patient Instructions (point-of-care printed handouts.).
The case study also reveals the value of streamlining voice-over localization processes. ENLASO localized into Spanish over 70 of the most popular recordings of the Healthwise Audio Library. The 330-topic, English-language library is accessible over the phone or on the web.
The online version of “ENLASO Provides Healthwise With Localization Streamlining Solutions” can be downloaded free of charge from ENLASO’s website at http://www.enlaso.com/.

- How to overcome typical medical and life sciences localization challenges.
- The value and challenges of medical reviews and internal reviews.
- The collaborative customer-vendor model.
- Terminology management, localization tools and technologies.
The webinar recording can be requested by visiting ENLASO’s Language Technology Center Webinar Archive.
