I am working with a questionnaire that has ten questions and the answers are closed type. Should such a questionnaire be validated, even though the answers to the questions are not added together and no aggregate value is obtained, as is the case with the quality of life questionnaire? The questionnaire has already been officially translated from the original language into a number of other languages. That is why there is a certain amount of confusion as to whether such a questionnaire needs to be validated or does not require validation after translation.
I think that you should first question the utility of the questionnaire itself to your project or Thesis. If you think that they are confusing, rebuild them in such a way as to avoid any kind of ambiguity and repeat the process. If you are a doctoral student, check with your supervisor.
Good luck
I think any translation and construction of questions in a foreign language should take into account both the nature of the structure and the intercultural component.
