Abstract

icated across languages, offering efficiency and accessibility. However, this shift also introduces significant ethical challenges for medical translators, who must balance accuracy, confidentiality, and cultural sensitivity when using automated tools. This study addresses these challenges by developing an ethical framework tailored to medical translators, particularly in the Chinese context. Using a combination of literature review, comparative analysis, and textual examination, the study identifies key ethical dilemmas associated with translation technology, including the risks of inaccuracy, data security concerns, and cultural insensitivity. The framework proposed emphasizes accuracy, patient safety, empathy, and professional integrity, offering practical guidelines to help translators uphold ethical standards. This study aims to support the professional development of medical translators and establish a foundation for future research and policy in this vital area.
