Navigating the Global Tightrope
How to Cope with Quirks of
Multi-Country Market Research
Do multi-country survey projects
make you feel like this?
24/10/2014
What Causes Complications?
Timelines…. Unpredictable
Clients… uncontrollable
Review process… undefined
Information… inconsistent

When the programming of a multi-language airport
chocolate-buying behavior study got delayed…
…TopTrans assisted programmers to untangle the English
source survey to accommodate grammar requirements.
Question 1: When did you decide to buy
chocolate as a gift for a client?
English programming: When did you decide to buy
{#S7Insert} {#MRK_giftA4} for a {#RecipientInsert2}?
Here’s why – too many variables that require
different sentence structure among languages
Translator’s dilemma
And each variable was used again in other
questions, which multiplied the problem
Question 2: Please think about the chocolate you
purchased
English programming: Please think about the {#S7Insert} you
purchased
Depending on the
word choice one of
the 2 translated
questions would be
grammatically wrong!
