Portuguese: Connect Across Cultures Through Our Professional Translation Services

Is your organisation interested in expanding its business reach into Portuguese-speaking countries? If so, hold o telefone because we have something for you! With over 265 million native speakers worldwide, Portuguese is a key language for companies looking to connect with new audiences. Whether venturing into clinical research, healthcare, or other specialised sectors, Atlas Translations can help. This week’s blog post, Portuguese: Connect Across Cultures Through Our Professional Translation Services, explains how!

Fun Fact: According to UNESCO, the most widely spoken language in the southern hemisphere is Portuguese. A primary language of international communication and one with a strong geographical projection, the use of Portuguese will continue to increase.

Why Choose Portuguese Translation Services?

Translating your content into Portuguese provides direct access to one of the world’s most widely spoken languages, opening doors to significant global markets.

Organisations in sectors like medical research, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare find reaching these markets with accurate, localised content invaluable.

Here’s why:

Global Influence 🌐

With Portuguese spoken not only in Brazil and Portugal but also in Angola, Mozambique, and other nations, it’s a language that carries global weight.

Portuguese language translation allows your organisation to connect across cultures flawlessly.

Expansive Opportunities 🎯

Brazil and Portugal offer excellent growth potential across various industries, including medical and clinical sectors.

Brazil is one of the largest pharmaceutical markets in Latin America, with significant demand for clinical research, drug manufacturing, and healthcare innovation.

Portugal has seen rapid growth in medical tourism, with international patients seeking treatments in fields such as oncology, cardiology, and fertility. Hospitals and clinics in Portugal need high-quality translations to communicate effectively with patients from around the world.

Outcome: Portuguese translations of clinical trial protocols, consent forms, and patient information make sure of compliance with local regulations and increase participant engagement.

Tailored Communication 🪡

Portuguese has several dialects, but they broadly fall into two main categories: European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. These two differ significantly in pronunciation, vocabulary, and even some grammar rules!

The nuances of the Portuguese language further vary by region (Azorean, Caipira, Angolan, and Macanese, to name a few).

A professional translation partner (<coughs discreetly>) can adapt your content to suit these distinctions.

Who Will Handle My Portuguese Translation?

At Atlas Translations, we recognise that accurate, culturally relevant translations are vital for building trust with new audiences—especially when it comes to complex sectors like clinical trials and research.

Our expert team of native-speaking translators are the “real deal” and are here to help you communicate clearly, accurately, and authentically.

The “real deal” because although we love Google for searching, we DO NOT use it for our translations!

Native expertise is a critical aspect of every translation we deliver! Your translated project will be crafted by a native Portuguese-speaking linguist, guaranteeing an authentic, localised touch.

Sector-specific knowledge because accuracy and intent are needed for projects involving medical records, marketing materials, technical writing, or legal documents. We’ll pair you with a translator experienced in your industry so your content retains its accuracy and intent.

Commitment to quality is our guarantee to you, along with a dedicated project manager to guide you from start to finish on your project. This way, we can make sure that transparency, clear timelines, and consistent updates are available to you throughout the translation process.

What Makes Localisation Important for Portuguese Translations?

We are admittedly fixated on translation not just being about converting words. It’s about making sure your message “clicks” in the context of another culture. Through localisation, we’ll adapt your translation project to consider regional preferences, cultural references, and market expectations.

This approach is especially important for B2B organisations in the medical and clinical industries, where accuracy and context are everything.

Our localisation services for Portuguese include:

😍 Cultural Sensitivity

Avoid miscommunications that might arise from different cultural norms. We’ll help your content connect with your audience in a way that feels natural.

🌍 Regional Adaptations

From currency formats to measurement units, our team ensures your documents are adapted to local conventions.

🗣️ Relevancy Rules

Localisation maximises your reach by making your content relevant and relatable to Portuguese-speaking audiences, whether they’re in Lisbon or São Paulo.
