TRANSLATION AS A LINGUISTIC GATEWAY FOR EMERGING MODERN VOCABULARY SYSTEM ACROSS LANGUAGES

The article places special emphasis on the role of translation and interpretation in disseminating some terms across languages and cultures. It compares human interpretation, particularly simultaneous interpreting, with AI-based interpretation, highlighting how each approach handles newly coined medical and social terms. While AI interpretation is acknowledged for its speed and accessibility, the article argues that human interpreters play a crucial role in ensuring semantic accuracy, contextual appropriateness, and pragmatic clarity, especially in high-stakes health communication. Furthermore, the article demonstrates that many pandemic-related terms were transmitted worldwide with minimal structural change, becoming part of national lexicons through translation and media usage. This process shows how translation functions as a linguistic bridge, allowing global health concepts to be understood uniformly while still being adapted to several linguistic norms. Also, the article concludes that the translation of COVID-19–related terminology illustrates the interaction between global crises, language change, and interpretative practices, and that an effective balance between human expertise and artificial intelligence is essential for accurate and responsible communication in public health contexts.
