跨文化的定性研究是罕见的，具有挑战性的，因为在研究者的主要语言以外的语言进行研究时，收集可靠和有效的信息的困难。虽然数据收集、分析、解释和定性数据的报告存在严格的标准，但对于语言学定性研究的翻译却没有这样的标准。因此，一个新的方法学模仿后，使用60名拉丁美洲参与者经历的前列腺癌治疗的副作用。访谈以西班牙语进行，逐字记录，然后由研究人员翻译。通过调整Alberlin的过程，开发了一种新的方法，更准确地传达了参与者的经验的真正含义，更合适和更有意义，并为有兴趣用自己的语言以外的语言进行研究的研究人员打开了大门，同时确保了研究数据的可靠性和有效性。
Cross-cultural qualitative research is rare and challenging because of difficulties of collecting reliable and valid information when conducting research in a language other than the researcher's primary language. Although standards of rigor exist for the data collection, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of qualitative data, no such standards exist for translation of translinguistic qualitative research. Therefore, a new methodology modeled after Brislin's translation principles was utilized with 60 Latino participants experiencing side effects as a result of prostate cancer treatment. Interviews were conducted in Spanish, transcribed verbatim, and then translated by research staff. By adapting Brislin's process, a new methodology was developed that more accurately conveys the true meaning of the participant's experience, is more appropriate and meaningful, and opens doors to researchers interested in conducting research in a language other than their own, while at the same time ensuring the reliability and validity of study data.
