Preferred term

translation of tests  

Definition(s)

  • Test translation refers to the literal translation of an assessment instrument from its original language to a different language, with the goal of preserving the original meaning of the items or questions in the assessment. The main reasons for translating existing tests from their original language to a second language—instead of developing new tests altogether in the second language—are economic considerations and for purposes of cross-national studies.
