Item Translation

Item Translation is a process of converting test items (questions and exhibits) from one language to another, while maintaining their original meaning, intent, difficulty, and alignment with learning outcomes. We ensure the translation of the text of items into the target language with complete consistency in terms of its difficulty, cognitive level, tone, intent, and Lexile (reading) level.

Our linguistic experts translate items to verify the quality and alignment with the original. With the help of this feature, we create multilingual assessments, which support our global testing initiatives. We also ensure accessibility for the test-takers in different linguistic regions and enable equity, fairness, and consistency across diverse candidates. Language translation of items makes it easier to reuse and scale item banks across regions and languages. This also helps in creating parallel forms of tests for different linguistic groups.

In conclusion, we translate items across multiple languages while carefully preserving their original meaning and context, ensuring that every test-taker receives a fair, accurate, and culturally appropriate assessment experience.
