Basic Guidelines for Translating Surveys

Aimed at healthcare professionals, these guidelines offer advice on briefing a survey translator.

'During the translation process, translators may identify terms or concepts that are difficult to translate because they do not have the same or similar meaning in the target language as they do in English. This will lead to discussions about the goal or intent of the English-language item. Such discussions are integral to the production of a quality translation.'
