dc.description.abstractMachine translation (MT) is increasingly tested as a tool to facilitate the communication across languages in health care settings (Dew et al, 2018). However, today we know little about how MT tools are actually used by healthcare professionals and patients. In addition, there are rarely guidelines that would ensure an appropriate use of this technology (Vieira, O’Hagan, & O’Sullivan 2021). This paper will present results from an interview study conducted with Swiss healthcare professionals on their use of MT. It sets out to better understand the potential of MT in healthcare as well as the human value of interpreters in a communication setting in which intercultural and emotional intelligence are of utmost importance. Results of our study suggest that MT tools and human interpreters are deployed for different types of situations which can be distinguished according to their predictability, technical complexity, emotionality, and relational goals. Also, practical aspects like organization and financing of interpreters seem to play a role. While MT can facilitate access to healthcare, the limitations of MT tools also raise some issues. For example, they can lead to additional stress in patients and a loss of time for healthcare staff. Based on our results, we address the co-existence between MT tools and human interpreters from an ethical perspective and derive recommendations for the use of MT in healthcare that can help to ensure an ethical use of this technology.de_CH
