Overview
A question that is translated word for word can mean something different in another market. Research and Metric provides questionnaire translation by native linguists who understand research, so every market answers the same question.
We adapt terms, scales and examples to local use, flag anything that does not travel and test the translated survey before launch, so problems are found before fieldwork, not after.
