References on language test translation/adaptation

[Tom Roeper]

Dear Folks,   The Diagnostic Evaluation of Language Variation (DELV) put out
by Psych Corps
is being translated into Italian and efforts are underway to translate it
into
Dutch--and there is interest in making tests for cross-linguistic
comparisons
for 17 European dialects in a project directed by Uli Sauerland at ZAS in
Berlin.
     It is an interesting and complex topic that needs to be treated with
great
sensitivity to particular language variation.
    It is nonetheless very important --- and I hope that lots of folks will
be
involved in developing and advising on these questions.
