This article explores the complex nature of challenges faced when translating medical texts. Medical language is highly specialized, combining scientific terminology, abbreviations, and culture-specific references that require precise interpretation. The article proposes a classification framework for translation issues, dividing them into linguistic, terminological, cultural, and pragmatic categories. Linguistic issues include syntactic complexity and grammatical ambiguity, while terminological issues relate to the lack of standardized equivalents in the target language. Cultural issues arise from differences in healthcare systems, treatment approaches, and professional roles across countries. Pragmatic issues involve the intended audience, register, and purpose of communication, which can vary significantly between texts such as patient instructions, clinical trial reports, and academic articles. The article also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge, collaboration with medical professionals, and the use of multilingual databases to resolve these challenges. It emphasizes the role of training and technological tools, such as terminology management systems and machine translation post-editing, in improving translation quality. By providing a systematic classification of issues, the article offers practical insights for translators, educators, and medical practitioners involved in cross-linguistic healthcare communication. It contributes to enhancing accuracy, patient safety, and the overall effectiveness of medical translation.
