RETRACTED: TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN MACHINE TRANSLATION: ARE NEW ETHICAL NORMS EMERGING IN THE AGE OF AI? Retracted article: AYTAŞ, Gülfidan. (2026). Transparency and Accountability in Machine Translation: Are New Ethical Norms Emerging in the Age of AI? Anadolu Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, 26(1), 463-478. https://doi.org/10.18037/ausbd.1811507 This notice is published by the decision of the Editorial Board regarding the article cited above. Following a post-publication review, it has been determined that several sources cited in the article do not actually exist in the literature. Including non-existent sources in the reference list and citing them within the text is a clear violation of our journal's publication ethics policies, norms of academic integrity, and COPE guidelines. The author was contacted; in their defense, the author stated that there was confusion between file versions during the preparation of the bibliography and that the wrong draft was uploaded to the system, thereby acknowledging the error in question. However, since the use of fabricated/fictional sources constitutes a major ethical violation that fundamentally undermines the scientific credibility of the study, the Editorial Board has decided to retract the article. We apologize to our readers and the scientific community for this occurrence. Sincerely, AÜSBD Editorial Board

This study examines how transparency and accountability are articulated, operationalized, and transformed across policy documents, corporate communication, and academic discourse on Machine Translation (MT). The dataset consists of six international policy documents (e.g., UNESCO, OECD, EU AI Act drafts), twenty-three peer-reviewed academic articles, and nine corporate statements and technical guidelines issued by leading MT providers between 2018 and 2024. Documents were selected through purposive sampling based on explicit references to transparency, responsibility, or explainability in MT systems. The analysis follows Braun and Clarke’s thematic framework and was conducted through an iterative, inductive coding process supported by NVivo. Three overarching themes emerged: (1) the rhetorical expansion of transparency in policy discourse, where transparency is framed as a universal safeguard yet operational criteria remain vague; (2) the displacement of accountability in corporate communication, which locates evaluative labour and risk management at the user’s end; and (3) the narrowing of transparency in academic texts, where the concept is discussed conceptually but seldom integrated into empirical MT workflows. Building on these findings, the article proposes Hermeneutic Transparency as a relational model that integrates technical, ethical, and contextual layers of meaning-making in MT systems. The study highlights gaps between high-level discourse and actual implementation practices and argues that transparency should be reconceived not as a static requirement but as a situated, interpretive and dialogic process. Implications for MT research, governance, and platform design are also discussed.
