Hello everyone!
One of my clients is planning to translate a medical questionnaire (Rhinitis Control Assessment Test). The copyright requirements for this questionnaire ask that they provide the final version of the translated questionnaire along with certification of ISPOR confirming best practices were used in the linguistic and cultural adaptation of the content.

One of my clients is planning to translate a medical questionnaire (Rhinitis Control Assessment Test). The copyright requirements for this questionnaire ask that they provide the final version of the translated questionnaire along with certification of ISPOR confirming best practices were used in the linguistic and cultural adaptation of the content.
As I understand, the ISPOR guidelines for translation state the following process:
- Preparation — Obtain permission to use instrument and involvement of the original author.
- Forward Translation — Development of at least two independent forward translations.
- Reconciliation — Reconciliation of the forward translations into a single forward translation.
- Back Translation — Back translation of the reconciled translation into the source language.
- Back Translation Review — Review of the back translations against the source language.
- Harmonization — Harmonization of all new translations with each other and the source version.
- Cognitive Debriefing — Cognitive debriefing of the new translation, with 5-8 healthcare professionals.
- Review of Cognitive Debriefing Results and Finalization — Cognitive debriefing results are reviewed and the translation finalized.
- Proofreading — The finalized translation is proofread.
- Final Report — Report is written on the development of the translation.
I have never faced this kind of request before, so I was wondering if any of you is familiar with it and what's needed to provide this translation of a medical questionnaire following ISPOR guidelines with a certificate.
Any help will be highly appreciated!

Hi Sergio:
I worked many times in this context (translated from english to french medical texts having obviously French authors' names, with some recurrent french-to-english translation approximations), not that the translation agency was transparent about that ('normal' translation orders).
The agency took care of the whole process, as it needed the intervention of several independent persons. I presume it garanteed itself the ISPOR certification.
