Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and fidelity of automatic translation of idiomatic expressions from Spanish to Arabic. We selected 19 idiomatic expressions focusing on emotions and human reactions. We used a quantitative approach to assess five automatic translation programs and artificial intelligence tools: Google Translate, Bing Translator, DeepL, Gemini, and ChatGPT 3.5, comparing them with a human reference translation. The analysis was conducted using the TILDE platform. The results show that ChatGPT 3.5 and Gemini provided the most accurate translations, although all the engines faced challenges in interpreting some idiomatic expressions.
