• Two experienced in-country experts, who are native speakers for the target language and bilingual in English — male and female-balanced and child-balanced, as appropriate, conduct the first translations
  

• A harmonized and reconciled forward translation is created from these independent translations
  

• The back translation is evaluated using an experienced native English speaker who is bilingual in the target language
  

• The "harmonized" version is reviewed by the HealthActCHQ scientific staff
  

• Debriefing interviews with parents/children are conducted by experienced primary in-country consultants, and results are evaluated and discussed with HealthActCHQ principals; recommended changes in wording and context are made as necessary
  

• Finalization of the translation, proofreading, and preparation of the translation documents
  

• Whenever possible a multi-trait item scaling analysis is conducted post translation to further assure appropriate translations have been made, often leading to a publication
