Abstract
During a survey technique, a product survey in an original language is translated into a target language, and any errors in the translation are identified and corrected. Words in the translation that do not translate well or clearly may be reverted back to the original language based on transliteration instructions. This may allow customers to answer the translated product survey in the target language using a user interface (such as a keyboard) based on the original language. After receiving answers from the users to questions in the translated product survey, the answers may be analyzed to determine results of the product survey in the target language. Then, the results may be translated back into the original language. After translation into the original language, the results across multiple target languages can be consolidated and presented.
