随着研究人员开始在他们的研究工作中纳入来自不同人口和语言群体的个体，越来越有必要遵循将文书翻译成其他语言的标准化程序，以确保翻译的等效性。本文描述了翻译过程，指出了成人教育实践中存在的翻译难点。这一翻译程序包括使用回译、委员会方法、双语技术或其变体、去中心化技术、对双语者使用两种语言版本的工具以及试点测试的组合。为翻译程序推荐了指导方针，并包括一个翻译项目的说明性示例。
As researchers begin including individuals from diverse populations and language groups in their research efforts, it will become increasingly imperative that standardized procedures for translation of instruments to other languages be followed to ensure equivalency of translations. This article describes the translation process and identifies translation difficulties noted in adult education practice. This procedure for translation includes the use of a combination of back translation, committee approach, the bilingual technique or variations thereof, decentering techniques, administration of both language versions of an instrument to bilinguals, and pilot testing. Guidelines are recommended for translation procedures and an illustrative example of a translation project is included.
