With tools available like Google Translate and DeepL, machine translation is now ubiquitous. Translation tools are also used in hospitals and asylum centres to facilitate communication with patients who do not have a sufficient understanding of the local language.

This project is aiming to investigate the possibilities and limitations presented by the use of this technology in medical settings. To this end, a number of small pilot studies will be undertaken with the aim of formulating practical recommendations for the use of these tools.
