Translation Services

To reach ethnically diverse populations, health program materials must be in the right language and at the right literacy level, and speak to the culture of the target population. The Center for Health Literacy’s Translation Services Group translates materials into any language, and adapts translations for readers with limited literacy. 

Ensuring Excellent Quality Translations

We can help you assess the quality of your translations. Our independent reviewers use a comprehensive checklist that covers grammar, spelling and punctuation, formatting conformity, and cultural appropriateness, so you can pinpoint your translators’ strengths and weaknesses.

We conduct field-testing in any language, so that you know when your translated documents are communicating effectively with the target audience.
