A research was conducted to find out medical translation in 26 languages being performed by Google translation platform to which 42.3% of medical phrases were incorrect. Lack of medical terminologies was not able to provide reasonable substitute and for that reason doctors do hire certified language experts in medical industry.

Such as phrase in medical- “Your child is fitting” was equated to “Your child is dead” in Swahili languages and that doesn’t sound appropriate one.

The thing is accuracy of machine translation is extremely depended on quality of database where best guess is not enough to save the lives of patient.
