In this post, we dive into a popular methodology employed to bridge the linguistic and cultural gaps in high-stakes assessments: forward translation and back translation.
CAT tools can be an immense help in the translation process. But to reuse translated content in the area of psychometric assessments, you have to be careful.
Situational Judgement Tests (or SJTs) are in widespread use and a well-constructed SJT can provide invaluable insights into a person’s attitudes and behaviour in the workplace.
However, translating SJTs into other languages needs to be handled very carefully as there are many potential issues that need to be taken into consideration.
At Comms Multilingual, we are very interested in the latest developments within the assessment and certification industries. To that end, we are asking industry experts to provide guest contributions to our blog, which we hope will be of interest to our community.
Our Vice President for Sales and Marketing recently spoke with Antonio Pamos from the international assessment, training and development company Facthum about the state of the industry, and both in terms of assessments and localisation.
