Description:
Health organizations need practical tools to assess the quality 
of materials developed for populations unable to read English. 
Bilinguals, language professionals and professional translators, 
with advanced/superior proficiency in Spanish, Chinese, Russian 
or Vietnamese interested assessing the quality of translated 
materials are invited to submit a resume and complete a required 
application.

Current approaches for assessing the quality of translations 
enjoy limited success and applicability. Researchers and 
practitioners agree divergent definitions of quality and a lack 
of consensus hinder progress in this area. This project draws on 
current theories of translation quality assessment, the 
experience of translators of health materials and applies lessons 
from studying translation errors to develop a tool to assess the 
quality of translated materials. Raters are needed to test a 
prototype Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) tool.
