Abstract
Are students with English skills without healthcare knowledge at disadvantages in translating medical documents compared with students with health scientific background without the experience of learning English specially? Experiments were held in June, 2011 to compare to the two groups. The total number of the subjects was 37 (students of the humanities were 20 and health science students 17). Both groups took the same translation task about medicine. There are no significant differences in the task scores between two groups. Therefore no disadvantage for language background students was found in this study.
