  • Sample Event: L&FIT Methods Exchange — Translation Decisions in Practice

    This sample past event brought researchers together to discuss how translation decisions shape qualitative evidence. Participants worked through short examples involving idioms, culturally specific references and competing English translations.

     

    The session combined small-group discussion with a shared translation-memo exercise. It highlighted the value of recording alternatives rather than presenting a final translation as inevitable.

  • Sample Event: Cross-Language Qualitative Analysis Workshop

    This interactive sample workshop will explore practical approaches to analysing interviews conducted across languages. Participants will compare translated extracts, discuss how analytic categories travel between languages and practise documenting uncertainty.

     

    The session is designed for postgraduate and early-career researchers using qualitative or interview-based methods. No prior translation qualification is required; participants are invited to bring questions from their own projects.
