Google Translate wasn’t built for healthcare communication, and using it for patient materials carries real risk. Many healthcare organizations are also subject to federal language-access requirements — Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act requires covered health programs to provide patients with accurate, timely translation through a qualified translator or interpreter, not machine translation (check with your compliance team on how this applies to your practice). Just as importantly, Google Translate converts words — it doesn’t adapt them. Pamphlit’s resources are written and reviewed by a registered dietitian for how each regional community actually talks about food and health, not translated after the fact.
