Over the past few years machine translation, particularly Google Translate, has come into its own and its use has been increasing rapidly. In 2012, Google announced that more than 200 million people were actively using the service each month. Given that using Google Translate can often provide a reliable translation, translation agencies are often asked why it cannot be used in clinical research and with Clinical Outcomes Assessments (COA) as opposed to going through an expensive and time-consuming linguistic validation and cultural adaptation process.
Key Insights:
- Discover what linguistic validation is and why it is important
- Review ISPOR guidance
- Discover what cultural adaptation is and why it is important
- Focus on methodological challenges presented when there is no human involvement in a translation
- Discuss challenges
