Abstract
In a small-scale experiment, questionnaire translations (English into German), either produced via a simple back translation approach or via a team translation approach, were implemented in a split-ballot web survey.
The questionnaire contained items from the International Social Suvey Program (ISSP) modules 2019 and 2020.
The overarching goal was to assess the impact that different translations - produced by different methods - have on the resulting survey data.
The data provided here contain the dataset with all closed-ended items (open-ended probes were removed) and the analysis code that was used for the paper:
Behr, D., and Braun, M. (forthcoming). How does back translation fare against team translation? An experimental case study in the language combination English-German. The Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology.
The paper describes the methodology of the study in detail.
