Back Translation Summary Back translation and reconciliation services give you additional quality and accuracy assurance for your most sensitive translation and localization projects. Both back translation and reconciliation are important for high value content that you need translated across languages with as much certainty as possible that the exact meaning is conveyed. Back translations and reconciliations can be performed for all types of translation and localization projects. Back translation involves taking the translated version of a document or file and then having a separate independent translator (who has no knowledge of the original text) translate it back into the original language.

Reconciliation During reconciliation, the original source material is compared with the back translation to look for issues where the meaning is confusing or slightly off in meaning. During reconciliation, edits and adjustments are made as needed to optimize the final translation. After performing a back translation, a report is generated that outlines all items that could be potential issues. This “Reconciliation Report” makes note of any/all differences or potential discrepancies where the meaning is confusing or slightly off.

Benefits This service is used by pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, clinical research organizations for clinical trials documents, marketing materials, protocols, assessments and anything that contains sensitive or high risk information. Most frequently, back translation and reconciliation services are requested to satisfy a legal or regulatory requirement and/or to add additional quality checks to the forward translations.
