In What Field

Market Research Translation

How do you determine when to translate and when to localize?

This is an important decision for each survey question in market research translation. Cross-cultural adaptation of survey questionnaires implies a good deal of knowledge of the target markets. Our linguists are on location. We combine empirical data on response scales with our expertise in cross-cultural translation and adaptation of surveys to help market research organizations collect reliable data in multiple languages.

Our Work in Market Research

UX

How do you translate a questionnaire that measures user experience (UX) or customer experience (CX)? Questionnaire designers need to tap into non-cognitive variables, collect comparable data, and make respondents feel comfortable with the questions. Our clients find our multidisciplinary review and translatability assessment of UX questionnaires extremely helpful in anticipating potential issues.

Product Surveys

Information about customer behavior around new products and services is vital. Questionnaires are short and the turnaround time is even shorter. Qualitative and quantitative market research translation are part of our core expertise.

Exploratory Market Research

Investigating the use of applications allowing users to pay with their smartphone or an enterprise survey in the textile sector for a given region in Africa: the client’s needs and requirements determine the ad hoc translation/adaptation design that we adopt to meet stringent quality criteria.
