Explain why back translation and parallel translation are needed

What will be an ideal response?


Direct translation involves a bilingual translator who translates the questionnaire directly from a base language to the respondent's language. However, if the translator is not fluent in both languages and not familiar with both cultures, direct translation of certain words and phrases may be erroneous. Procedures such as back translation and parallel translation have been suggested to avoid these errors.
