Market Research Translation Services
Translate surveys, questionnaires, screeners, discussion guides, interview materials, reports and other research content for multilingual studies. We help keep wording, terminology and project instructions consistent across target languages.
Surveys, guides and reports
Translation can cover participant-facing materials, moderator documents and stakeholder outputs within the same research project.

Project notes, glossaries and approved terminology can help keep repeated concepts aligned across markets.
Project setupTranslation plus transcription or interpreting
Where a study also includes recordings or live sessions, related language services can be scoped separately.
Related servicesResearch materials across the study lifecycle
The best approach depends on how the translated content will be used: participant recruitment, moderation, data collection, analysis or final reporting.
Surveys & questionnaires
Question wording, answer options, instructions and supporting text for quantitative or mixed-method studies.
Screeners & consent materials
Recruitment questions, eligibility criteria, participant information and consent-related study text.
Discussion & interview guides
Moderator guides, probing questions, interview schedules and session instructions for qualitative research.
Stimulus & concept materials
Concept statements, product descriptions, message tests and other materials shown to participants.
Reports & presentations
Research summaries, presentations and stakeholder-facing findings that need to be understood across languages.
Open-ended responses
Participant comments or verbatim text where translated responses are needed for review or analysis.
Fieldwork instructions
Researcher, interviewer or moderator instructions that need consistent interpretation across markets.
Supporting research documents
Other project files can be reviewed and scoped according to audience, methodology and required format.
A clear process for multilingual research projects
Research projects often involve repeated terminology, multiple files and tight fieldwork dates. Scoping those details up front helps reduce avoidable inconsistencies.
Question wording needs more than a literal translation
In a survey or questionnaire, small wording changes can affect how a participant understands a question, instruction or response option. That makes context important: the translator needs to know what is being measured, how the question appears in the survey and whether terms repeat elsewhere in the study.
Where you already have approved terminology, previous waves or client-preferred wording, send those references with the source files. They can be used to support consistency across languages and versions.
Different study types create different translation needs
The translation brief should reflect how the material will be used rather than treating every research file as the same kind of document.
Qualitative studies
Discussion guides, interview schedules, participant tasks, stimulus materials and open-ended research content.
Quantitative studies
Structured questionnaires, scale labels, response options, routing instructions and repeated survey terminology.
Multi-market studies
Multiple target languages may require consistent terminology, central reference material and coordinated delivery.
Wave-based research
Previous approved translations can be valuable reference material when a new wave repeats questions or concepts.
Give the translator the context behind the words
A stronger brief helps reduce back-and-forth and makes it easier to keep project terminology aligned.
Target audience
Tell us who will read or hear the translated material and which market or country the study is targeting.
Study methodology
Confirm whether the material is for a survey, interview, focus group, online community or another research method.
Reference material
Send glossaries, previous waves, product names, approved claims or terminology that should be followed.
File and delivery format
Let us know whether you need translated Word, Excel, PowerPoint, survey-platform text or another agreed format.
