LOCALIZATION OPERATIONS & ENGINEERING
MEDICAL DEVICE LOCALIZATION
TMS ADMINISTRATION & WORKFLOW AUTOMATION
Localization Built for Regulated Content
I localize medical device content into German and Croatian, and I build the systems that keep it consistent: TMS configuration, terminology governance, automated quality checks, and MQM-based measurement. Over 14 years of practice, working to MDR/IVDR and ISO 13485 expectations.
The same pipelines handle technical documentation, gaming and software content.
Services
MEDICAL DEVICE LOCALIZATION
IFUs, labelling, device UI and packaging into German and Croatian, aligned with MDR/IVDR, EN ISO 20417, EN ISO 15223-1 and IEC 62366.
TMS ADMINISTRATION
Setup and day-to-day running across 21 CAT and TMS platforms: users and workflows, TM and termbase hygiene, connector configuration, and vendor onboarding.
WORKFLOW AUTOMATION
n8n pipelines that move content between CMS, TMS and review, with every handoff logged instead of chased by email.
QUALITY MEASUREMENT (MQM / DQF)
Error typology scoring, so vendor quality is measured against a defined standard and tracked across releases rather than argued about.
LINGUISTIC QA & REVIEW
In-context review of localized builds and documents: terminology, regulatory wording, UI truncation, and layout.
i18n TEST AUTOMATION
Playwright and GitHub Actions checks running on every build: pseudo-localization passes, string extraction verification, UI overflow detection.
