Translate Treatments with AI
Translate treatment names and descriptions into the languages you choose with AI, review and edit the result, and use it on the estimate in the patient’s language.
Updated
Practices that treat international patients or work with a multilingual team can translate treatment names and descriptions into other languages with AI in Medicasimple. Instead of writing every translation from scratch, you create a first draft in a few clicks, then review and edit it to match the terms your practice uses.
This guide shows you how to start the translation, review and edit the result, and use the translated treatment names on the estimate in the patient’s language.
Before you start: The translation uses the saved treatment name and description. If you have changed anything in the treatment window, save it first. Screens and options can vary with your user permissions.
How it works
Source text: the saved treatment name and description.
Languages: you can choose one or more languages at a time.
Result: each language gets its own row under the treatment name and its own text box in the description. The translations are saved and you can edit them later.
Where it is used: when you choose the patient’s language on the estimate, the treatment names are shown with these translations.
1. Open the treatment
Open Settings → Treatments.
Click the edit icon on the row of the treatment you want to translate.
On the Treatment Details tab, check the treatment name and description. If you have made changes, save them.
2. Translate with AI
Click Translate with AI under Treatment Name.
In the AI translation window, choose the languages in Select languages. You can choose more than one.
Click Translate with AI. While the translation runs, the button shows Translating....
As the window says, the saved treatment name and description are translated into the selected languages and saved. To close the window without translating, click Cancel.
3. Review and edit the translation
When the translation is ready, each language appears under Treatment Name as its own row with the language code and the translated name. Under Treatment Description, each language gets its own text box.
Read the treatment name and description in each language and check them against the terms your practice uses.
Correct any text directly in its row or text box.
Remove a language you do not need with the × on the right of its row.
Click Update Treatment at the bottom right of the window to save your changes.
Important: An AI translation is a first draft. Check it before you share it with patients, especially clinical terms.
To add a language without AI, use Add New Language under Treatment Name or Treatment Description and write the translation yourself.
4. Choose the patient’s language on the estimate
The translated treatment names are used when you present the treatment plan in the patient’s language.
Open the estimate from the patient’s treatment plan.
Choose the patient’s language in Estimate Language.
Check in the preview that the treatment names appear in that language, then print or send the estimate.
For more on the estimate language and sharing the plan as a PDF, see the Multilingual Plan guide.
Troubleshooting
I cannot see Translate with AI
Make sure you are on the Treatment Details tab of the treatment window. The link is under Treatment Name. If you still cannot see it, ask an authorised user to check your access or contact our support team.
The translation does not include my latest change
The translation uses the saved treatment name and description. Save your change, then check the translation in the language row and correct it if needed.
The estimate does not show the translated treatment name
Check the following:
Is the translation for that language saved in the treatment window?
Did you choose the same language in Estimate Language?
If the translations are saved but the treatment names still do not appear in the expected language, contact our support team.
Good to know
AI translates both the treatment name and the treatment description.
The languages you can choose include English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Georgian and Bulgarian.
AI translations are not guaranteed to be medically or legally accurate. Your practice reviews them and makes the final decision.
