“…The Complexity of Translation Work and the Need for Translation. Because of the evolution of Japanese over time and its complexity as a second national language, there must be more binding needs in translation, despite the fact that Japanese and Chinese are comparable in many ways [4]. The work of translating into Japanese has its own level of difficulty.…”

Technological for the purpose of interlingual communication has gone through tremendous changes because of mechanical progressions. The significance of two important technological advancements in current translation is as follows: PC helped translation apparatuses and machine translation, which is talked about in this article. These innovations have further developed translation efficiency and quality, supported overall communication, and underlined the developing requirement for state-of-the-art specialized answers for the deep rooted challenge of language boundaries. These instruments, then again, give extensive obstacles and vulnerability to the deciphering calling and industry. People have proposed new standards for several disciplines and their own lifestyles based on computer technology. Because of its significant data advantage, network information technology plays a key role in traditional language translation. Thus, it is basic to comprehend how to more readily involve network data assets in the Japanese translation process, as well as to investigate changes in network data assets and merge the commonsense headway of the Japanese translation process, in light of the significant issue of Japanese learning and exploration.

“…Four types of information transmitters (ie, the end users of MT) could be identified: PH departments and research institutions (21/46, 46%) [ 29 , 49 , 50 , 52 - 54 , 56 , 59 , 60 , 62 , 63 , 65 , 70 , 73 - 78 , 80 , 86 ]; clinical and hospital staff (15/46, 33%) [ 44 - 47 , 51 , 58 , 61 , 66 , 68 , 69 , 71 , 72 , 79 , 81 , 85 ]; international and national health organizations, such as the WHO, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the UK National Health Service (8/46, 17%) [ 42 , 43 , 55 , 57 , 64 , 82 - 84 ]; and developers of web-based health information platforms (eg, Cochrane) or social media outlets (eg, Facebook; 2/46, 4%) [ 48 , 67 ].…”

Background Culturally and linguistically diverse groups are often underrepresented in population-based research and surveillance efforts, leading to biased study results and limited generalizability. These groups, often termed “hard-to-reach,” commonly encounter language barriers in the public health (PH) outreach material and information campaigns, reducing their involvement with the information. As a result, these groups are challenged by 2 effects: the medical and health knowledge is less tailored to their needs, and at the same time, it is less accessible for to them. Modern machine translation (MT) tools might offer a cost-effective solution to PH material language accessibility problems. Objective This scoping review aims to systematically investigate current use cases of MT specific to the fields of PH and epidemiology, with a particular interest in its use for population-based recruitment methods. Methods PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, ACM Digital Library, and IEEE Xplore were searched to identify articles reporting on the use of MT in PH and epidemiological research for this PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews)–compliant scoping review. Information on communication scenarios, study designs and the principal findings of each article were mapped according to a settings approach, the World Health Organization monitoring and evaluation framework and the service readiness level framework, respectively. Results Of the 7186 articles identified, 46 (0.64%) were included in this review, with the earliest study dating from 2009. Most of the studies (17/46, 37%) discussed the application of MT to existing PH materials, limited to one-way communication between PH officials and addressed audiences. No specific article investigated the use of MT for recruiting linguistically diverse participants to population-based studies. Regarding study designs, nearly three-quarters (34/46, 74%) of the articles provided technical assessments of MT from 1 language (mainly English) to a few others (eg, Spanish, Chinese, or French). Only a few (12/46, 26%) explored end-user attitudes (mainly of PH employees), whereas none examined the legal or ethical implications of using MT. The experiments primarily involved PH experts with language proficiencies. Overall, more than half (38/70, 54% statements) of the summarizing results presented mixed and inconclusive views on the technical readiness of MT for PH information. Conclusions Using MT in epidemiology and PH can enhance outreach to linguistically diverse populations. The translation quality of current commercial MT solutions (eg, Google Translate and DeepL Translator) is sufficient if postediting is a mandatory step in the translation workflow. Postediting of legally or ethically sensitive material requires staff with adequate content knowledge in addition to sufficient language skills. Unsupervised MT is generally not recommended. Research on whether machine-translated texts are received differently by addressees is lacking, as well as research on MT in communication scenarios that warrant a response from the addressees.

“…The statistical analyses can be mystifying; applicable research findings can be hidden and inaccessible; the content of the article can be obscure and unrelated to daily clinical practice; and the articles can be poorly written or presented [3], [12]. As most articles are published in English, language barrier can be a significant obstacle for nurses in China and other non-English speaking regions [3], [13].…”

Objectives To examine Chinese nurses' practice of reading and understanding scientific literature and elucidate the motivating and deterring factors. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted between March and June 2015. A random sample of 853 full-time registered nurses from three tertiary and two secondary hospitals in China filled out a set of self-administered questionnaires, including literature habit questionnaire(41 items), the situational motivation scale and the socio-demographic and professional characteristics questionnaire(15 items). Results Significant majority (89.2%) of the respondents reported perception of barriers to keeping up to date with literature. The language barrier was the most prominent, followed by poor presentation and readability of articles. Using simpler language when writing articles, improving ones' foreign language proficiency and getting education or training on nursing research were raised as the top facilitators. Additionally, reading and understanding literature was significantly associated with the nurses' educational background, motivation, genders and work settings. Conclusions The survey of the current status of literature education among Chinese nurses suggests that providing protected time, training for critical thinking, and incentive mechanisms will help improve nurses' engagement in literature and create a culture of academic inquiry.
