To perform a pragmatic assessment of GT for the written translation of commonly used ED discharge instructions in seven commonly spoken languages.Ī prospective assessment of the accuracy of GT for 20 commonly used ED discharge instruction phrases, as evaluated by a convenience sample of native speakers of seven commonly spoken languages (Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean, Armenian, and Farsi). A recent study of discharge instructions in Spanish and Chinese suggested that accuracy rates of Google Translate (GT) were high.

To develop Translate for Animals, we worked closely with many of the world’s top language synthesis teams, and with leaders in the field of animal cognitive linguistics, including senior fellows at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.Because many hospitals have no mechanism for written translation, ED providers resort to the use of automated translation software, such as Google Translate (GT) for patient instructions. Translate for Animals is an application for Android phones that recognises and transcribes words and phrases that are common to a species, like cats for example. We’ve always been a pet-friendly company at Google, and we hope that Translate for Animals encourages greater interaction and understanding between animal and human.

We are excited to introduce Translate for Animals, an Android application which we hope will allow us to better understand our animal friends.

Language is one of our biggest challenges so we have targeted our efforts on removing language barriers between the species. Making the world’s information universally accessible is a key goal for Google. Introducing Translate for Animals (beta): Bridging the gap between animals and humans
