Back translation involves translating a research protocol in one language, translating it into the target language, and then having someone else translate it back to the original language. This helps to identify any discrepancies or mistranslations that may have occurred in the initial translation, and ensures that the meaning of the original protocol is being accurately conveyed in the target language.
