Checklist
Translated rating scale review checklist
Nine checks for a fluent reviewer before a multilingual study launches
A nine point checklist for reviewing translated rating scales and answer options before a multilingual survey or interview study goes live. It covers point count and order, the strength of end labels, the midpoint, consistent wording, local equivalents for options and bands, parallel wording, storing answers against one master version, and a pilot per language. In Koji, the Viewing in toggle shows the whole study in each language so a reviewer can work through it.
Where this appears
What's in this checklist
- Same number of points, in the same order, in every language
- End labels equally strong: extremely and completely are true end points
- The midpoint means the same thing in every language
- Identical scales worded identically everywhere they appear
- Every answer option has a real local equivalent or replacement
- Bands for income, price or company size make sense in each market
- Options read as parallel and none is longer or more attractive
- Answers stored against one master version of each option
- A short pilot in each language reads as natural
