Linguistic Validation

With the growing demand for globalization, the medical research industry has to adapt quickly. Moreover, the complex and increasingly regulated processes of instruments development don't make it any easier. One small cultural misinterpretation is capable of ruining the whole research workflow. That is when a reliable and experienced partner is more than just an investment. It is a strategic advantage. Palex has the expertise to ensure that your instruments convey their intended meaning across cultures and languages.

LV is a particularly complex translation process that makes the instruments conceptually but also culturally equivalent in order to perform their intended purpose of benefiting the research. However, this process often reveals difficulties with the source instrument when adapting the format, instructions, concepts, idiomatic expressions, response scales, or demographic items for use in different languages. And that's when the expert assistance becomes critical.

How it works

Palex team has proved its expertise through our elaborate and flawless processes dealing with Clinical Trials projects. First of all, our vendor management team has a vast portfolio of competent clinical translators and priceless experience and knowledge in widening the pool of experts requested in the project. Understanding the trend of clinical research to go global we are able to deliver even the rarest languages. Do you have an experienced Karakalpak linguistic team for Linguistic Validation and cognitive debriefing, for instance? We do.
Our in-house subject matter experts are practicing clinicians who contribute vastly to clinical research translation projects. Our team boasts such experts as M.D, Ph.D and Associate Professors in the areas of neurology and neurosurgery.
The Palex clinical trials team is a solid partner in any research project in need of translation services because of its clear understanding of industry recommendations. Specifically each member of the team is certified with GDP, which simplifies and accelerates communication with the client. But not only do we speak the same language as our clients, we also make your instrument comprehensible to the diverse populations of lay people as they are mostly the target audience of the research.
Linguistic validation has one of the most complex workflows:
  • Forward Translation
  • Reconciliation
  • Back Translation
  • Harmonization
    As a result we get consistent clinical data and linguistically validated translation which prevents any misunderstanding that may compromise the whole research project.
