Abstract

This article examines the strengths and weaknesses of several translation techniques currently in use through the lens of emerging opinions on the science and ethics of intercultural research. Broad scientific and ethical dimensions relevant to translating instruments and a distinction between generating multiple language forms of two kinds of instruments are introduced: those in which wording in the source language cannot be altered and those in which constraints of the target language can lead to changes in the original instrument’s wording. Developmental psychologists engaged in intercultural research can consider techniques for minimizing the influence of Western perspectives while pursuing conceptual equivalence in order to satisfy science’s concern for internal validity of translated instruments.

The Portuguese version of the ELS was developed through forward and back translation, pre-testing, and expert review to ensure content correspondence.
“one of the authors of the current study (L.N.), native speaker of Dutch and Portuguese and familiar with the respective cultures, individually translated the items to Portuguese (forward translation; World Health Organization, 2015). The other authors (native speakers of Portuguese and fluent in English) translated back the items to English and confirmed the correspondence of each item's content (”

The Back Translation and Joint Use of Multiple Methods sections describe forward and back translation into Portuguese and report a recommended approach that includes expert input and pretesting. They do not say that the Portuguese ELS underwent those steps; Portuguese is used as an example, not identified as an ELS version. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
