Meet Sesen at DIA 2025 in Washington, D.C.
Join us June 15–19 at Booth #2013 to explore global clinical and regulatory language solutions.
Why Digital Localization Matters in Life Sciences
In today’s global healthcare environment, life sciences companies must deliver accurate, accessible, and culturally relevant digital experiences across languages and regions. As patients, healthcare professionals, and regulatory bodies increasingly rely on digital platforms to access medical information, localized websites and digital content have become essential for building trust, ensuring compliance, and expanding market reach.
Multilingual access is no longer optional—it is a requirement for engaging global audiences and supporting informed decision-making in clinical and commercial settings. Whether you’re promoting a new medical device, publishing research findings, or facilitating digital patient interactions, your content must resonate with diverse audiences while adhering to strict regulatory and privacy standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and WCAG.
Effective localization goes beyond translation. It requires deep understanding of medical terminology, cultural norms, user behavior, and regulatory constraints. Poorly localized content can lead to miscommunication, compliance risks, and diminished brand credibility. By contrast, a well-executed localization strategy enhances patient trust, boosts HCP engagement, and strengthens your digital brand presence worldwide.
Sesen provides professional, compliant digital localization services tailored to the needs of pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and healthcare organizations—supporting your digital transformation with linguistic precision and industry expertise.

Case Study: Global Pharma Website Localization at Scale
Client: Global Pharmaceutical Company
Scope: Multilingual Product Microsite Localization (12 Languages)
Challenge
The client needed to launch a multilingual product microsite across 12 markets in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The site featured disease education, product indications, safety disclaimers, and region-specific regulatory content. The challenge was to ensure full SEO optimization, regulatory alignment, and technical compatibility with the client’s Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) platform—under tight pre-launch timelines.
Solution
Sesen performed a structured content audit and aligned the project with existing style guides and regulatory references. Our team integrated with the client’s AEM environment using translation connectors, enabling seamless content push-pull across languages. We developed localized keyword sets for each market and applied on-page SEO best practices to metadata, alt tags, and headers. All content underwent dual QA review—first for linguistic accuracy and second for regulatory compliance under ISO 17100 and ISO 13485.
Outcome
- Fully localized site launched in all 12 markets within 7 weeks
- 28% increase in organic search visibility across non-English regions
- 35% reduction in post-launch revisions due to glossary alignment and CMS QA
- Ongoing partnership to localize additional product and disease awareness pages
This project demonstrates how Sesen delivers scalable, compliant, and performance-driven website localization tailored to the needs of global life sciences brands.
