Abstract: Translation represents an extremely useful and necessary means of communication. This paper starts by analyzing several types and definitions of the term “translation”, followed by a brief presentation of the evolution of medical language. Moreover, it deals with the similarities and difference between English and Romanian specialized terminology and discusses several difficulties encountered while translating medical texts. In this regard, it is noteworthy that the translator of specialized texts should be a professional, since any type of wrong translation or any mistake or misinterpretation for that matter could lead to serious consequences.
