Deliver accurate and authentic audio translations for your qualitative market research

For qualitative market research projects involving audio responses, such as focus groups, video diaries and one-on-one interviews, high-quality audio translations are the key to unlocking insights. Literally and figuratively, hearing what your respondents have to say requires an expert ear, knowledge of local colloquialisms and idioms, and an understanding of industry terminology.

What is audio translation for qualitative market research?

Audio translation for qualitative market research is required for recorded focus groups or one-to-one interviews and to provide a written record of what was said in another language. A French-speaking client, for example, may want to know word-for-word what was said in a focus group conducted in English. A French audio translation of the group will provide an exact copy of what was said, including key points and arguments.

What is the value of audio translation in qualitative market research?

Translating your audio content into different languages ensures you capture the meaning for a wider audience, can expand your qualitative research and can reach new global markets. Not only that but being interviewed in their native language for their contributions to be translated later can enhance the experience for your qualitative research respondents.This in turn can help to build loyalty and increase engagement in future projects. These are key to increasing your credibility and building your reputation within the international research sector.

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.
