References on language test translation/adaptation

[Judy Reilly]

Hi Tobias,
  I think the best way to consider these are as adaptations, not 
translations.  The idea is to adapt to the language  and culture. 
Philip Dale has written about the MacArthur Bates and how to adapt 
it.  You might talk to him.

Hope you are well
Cheers,
Judy
