Top-quality market research data

Online QC (online link checks) is a critical step in the pre-fielding stage of a market research project. It can reduce the time and money spent on amending scripts to resolve display issues and enhance the quality and accuracy of data collected when the survey is launched.

What is Online QC (online link checks)?

Online QC is the process of reviewing translated surveys in situ before they are fielded. The linguist will use a pre-defined profile to pose as a respondent, running through the survey to identify and resolve potential issues before they have the chance to affect your results. 

Why use Online QC in your market research project?

It’s a service that’s particularly popular for, and reassuring for, market research projects fielded in non-Latin alphabets and character languages, such as Arabic and Chinese, as these languages display very differently from English. Checks are carried out by either the translator who worked on the survey or by another, equally qualified proofreader if a second opinion is required.

The online QC process improves the accuracy and reliability of your research and provides peace of mind that your survey will be easily understood by your respondents when they come to complete it after it has gone.

Ensure data accuracy with a leading market research translation agency

At The Language Factory, our expert linguists will ensure your survey translation displays correctly, making any necessary linguistic edits and enhancements to suit your target audience. They will validate the survey logic, routing, programming instructions, piping and inserts, as often complicated scripting isn’t visible to the respondent. We also ensure your desired respondents aren’t wrongly screened out however, when they’re meant to be, we make sure they see the correct end page. In short, our online QC (online link check) service guarantees optimal performance and prompt launch of your survey.

I have worked with Janka a few times for this project, and she’s always been incredibly transparent, and taken time to ensure we are happy throughout the process of translation. Janka was checks in with me if a translator is unsure of certain things, which is much appreciated! It makes my job easier when coming to reviewing the final translations.
