02Prepare materialsTranslate or localise screeners, questionnaires, discussion guides, consent text and participant information where required.
03Support fieldworkArrange interpreting for interviews, focus groups or research calls when participants and moderators do not share a language.
04Transcribe or translate recordingsCreate transcripts or translated transcripts in the format agreed for your research team.

Project consistency

Keep terminology and research intent aligned across languages

Research materials often repeat key concepts across screeners, discussion guides, questionnaires, stimulus text and final reporting. Treating those files as one project helps keep terminology and respondent-facing wording more consistent.

For qualitative work, the brief should also explain whether you need verbatim transcription, translated transcription, timestamps, speaker labels or another formatting convention so the final output matches the research team’s use case.

Translation briefAudience, market, terminology, tone and research context.
Transcript briefVerbatim level, speakers, timestamps, language direction and output format.

Languages and markets

Tell us the source and target languages and the markets or participant groups involved.

2

Research method

Confirm whether the project involves surveys, interviews, focus groups, desk research or another method.

3

Files and recordings

Share the source files or sample recordings, plus approximate word counts or audio/video duration where known.

Market research FAQ

Common questions from research teams

Can you support both qualitative and quantitative market research?
Yes. The existing market research service range covers language work for qualitative activities such as interviews and focus groups, as well as structured materials such as surveys and questionnaires. The exact service mix depends on your project.
Can translation and transcription be combined in one project?
Yes. A project can involve translated research materials before fieldwork and transcription or translated transcription after recorded sessions. Send the full workflow when requesting a quote so the stages can be scoped together.
Can you provide interpreting for interviews or focus groups?
Yes, interpreting can be arranged for research interviews, group discussions and other live research sessions where language support is required.
What information should I send for a transcription quote?
Send the language or languages, total audio/video duration, sample files where possible, required transcript format, whether translation is needed, and your deadline.
Can you localise surveys and participant materials?
Yes. Localisation can be used where wording needs to suit a particular market or audience rather than following a purely literal translation approach.
How do I start?
Send the source files or samples, language pair, market, research method, deadline and required deliverables. We can then confirm the appropriate workflow and quotation.
