Using AI to Translate and Simplify Spanish Orthopedic Medical Text: Instrument Validation Study
Although Google Translate outperformed GPT-4 in translation accuracy, LLMs, such as GPT-4, may provide significant utility in translating medical texts into Spanish and simplifying such texts. We recommend considering a dual approach-using Google Translate for translation and GPT-4 for simplification-to improve medical information accessibility and orthopedic surgery education among Spanish-speaking patients.
