Client Profile
A leading multinational pharmaceutical company preparing regulatory submissions and multilingual clinical trial documentation for simultaneous market entry across North America, Europe, and Asia.
They needed a localization partner able to manage highly sensitive content under strict regulatory oversight — from informed consent forms (ICFs) and drug labeling to internal training manuals for MSLs and field reps.
Industry: Pharmaceuticals
The Challenge
In pharmaceuticals, localization errors aren’t just costly — they can be life-threatening.
This client required a trusted partner to ensure:
- Regulatory precision for content aligned with FDA, EMA, and PMDA requirements.
- Fast multilingual rollout of clinical trial materials, including investigator brochures and ICFs, within aggressive timelines.
- Consistent formatting across complex document types — SDSs, drug labels, prescribing information — in 15+ languages.
- Strict information security for unpublished research, trial data, and pre-market communications.
- Agile project management to accommodate last-minute edits, file conversions, and country-specific updates.
The Solution
1-StopAsia built a customized localization workflow designed for every stage of the pharmaceutical lifecycle:
- ISO 9001 & 17100-Certified Processes for critical materials such as clinical documentation, SmPCs, and regulatory submissions.
- ISO 18587-Compliant Post-Editing of MT output, used selectively for internal references to save time and cost.
- ISO 27001-Certified Data Security to safeguard sensitive data, from trial protocols to training content.
- Multilingual DTP ensuring all labels and layouts meet both local and global compliance standards.
- Regulatory-aware linguists with pharma subject-matter expertise to guarantee terminology consistency and cultural accuracy.
- Flexible project teams integrating seamlessly into the client’s review cycles, regulatory calendars, and submission systems.

- Standardize SDS translation workflows to minimize audit risks.
- Localize MSL training manuals and sales enablement materials for 22 markets while maintaining compliance and brand tone.
These results allowed the client’s regulatory, marketing, and clinical teams to operate in sync — without translation bottlenecks.
