Table 2: Some examples of text in English and Malay. The selection of the English language as the reference point for our dataset was based on its extensive utilization in health-related studies on natural language processing, which has resulted in a robust framework. The utilization of English as a standard allows for the maintenance of consistency and precision in our process of comparing and analyzing. This enables us to utilize pre-existing research and methodologies established in the field of English language studies, and subsequently employ them in our cross-linguistic investigation. The utilization of this methodology was implemented in order to guarantee coherence and precision in our examination and evaluation, given that the English language possesses a firmly established structure within health-related studies pertaining to natural language processing. The Malay and English collections exhibit an equivalent quantity of documents, although a discernible discrepancy is observed in the number of sentences. The Malay language corpus exhibits a greater quantity of sentences in comparison to the English corpus. The main reason behind this disparity lies in the structural and linguistic differences between the two languages. Often, a single English sentence can expand into multiple sentences in Malay to convey the same meaning. This is due to the nuanced complexities inherent in the translation process between English and Malay.
