arXiv:2610.02496v1 — study examines UK healthcare staff reliance on Google Translate and risks of translating medical abbreviations

The paper (arXiv:2610.02496v1) reports semi-structured interviews with 21 UK public healthcare staff about their use of machine translation—predominantly Google Translate—to communicate across language barriers. Using contextualised French and Spanish clinical examples (from authoritative corpora) translated via Google Translate, the authors qualitatively analyse staff awareness of risks when MT handles medical abbreviations that can be safety-critical.
