What do you do when presented with any seemingly insoluble situation in this day and age? Naturally, your first port of call is Google.<\/p>\n<p>But can you be sure when using Google Translate that you\u2019re not inadvertently giving parents the wrong message. For example, what if you said, \u201cYour child\u2019s state is not life stopping\u201d rather than the opposite \u201cYour child\u2019s condition is life threatening,\u201d which is actually what you meant.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Similar circumstances inspired researchers from Nottingham to find out how Google\u2019s free online software stacks up against the costly human translation services that should be available in hospitals, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/349\/bmj.g7392\">their findings have just been published<\/a> in a Christmas research paper on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/thebmj\">thebmj.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the researchers found that Google Translate got it wrong some 40% of the time when translating 10 English medical phrases into 26 languages, which native speakers translated back to English.<\/p>\n<p>Google gave some serious medical misrepresentation. It translated \u201cYour child is fitting\u201d to mean \u201cYour child is dead\u201d in Swahili, and it rendered \u201cYour husband has the opportunity to donate his organs\u201d as meaning \u201cYour husband can donate his tools\u201d in Polish. The Bengali translation of \u201cYour wife needs to be ventilated\u201d that Google gave meant \u201cYour wife wind movement needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The machine translator did better translating English to Western European languages and was worst at translating English to Asian and African languages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA complex and nuanced medical, ethical, and treatment discussion with patients whose knowledge of the local language is inadequate remains challenging,\u201d the authors write. \u201cIndeed, even in a native language there is an element of translation from medical to lay terminology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnless all avenues to find a human translator have been exhausted, and the procedure is clinically urgent,\u201d they caution, \u201cGoogle Translate should not be used for taking consent for surgery, procedures, or research from patients or relatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/349\/bmj.g7392\/rapid-responses\">Responders online have been quick to point out<\/a> that Google Translate is not optimised for medical terminology and that translation of short phrases in lay language may be more reliable.<\/p>\n<p>This paper is just one that made the cut for <em>The BMJ<\/em>\u2019s beautiful bumper Christmas double print issue, which goes to press today, but you can enjoy some of the mix before it hits your doormat on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/thebmj\">thebmj.com<\/a>.
