Hi!
I am currently translating and adaptating a questionnarire about attitudes towards inclusion, and I would like to have suggestions about specific literature in translation and cross-cultural adaptation of questionnaires.
In particular, the amount of freedom that I have to change the original text to fit the new context is quite a challenging topic.
Do you have suggestions?
Thank you!!
