Preferred term

back translation  

Definition

  • The verbal translation of a document or a questionnaire has two principal methods—forward translation and backward translation. While forward translation is a method to convert a document or a questionnaire from the source language to the target (foreign) language, the back translation method is used for translating the same document or the questionnaire back from the target language to the original (source) language. [Source: Encyclopedia of Business in Today's World; Back Translation]
