VIII. Translation: Translation Scheduling

This section discusses scheduling the translation effort. Scheduling in a multinational project very much depends on how the translations figure in the project as a whole. They might, for example, be anticipated in features of the questionnaire design. There may be centrally approved specifications for how they should be conducted and when; and there might be centrally organized quality monitoring procedures. When translations are produced centrally for a multinational project, it is likely that a document management system is used in the production and scheduling of source questionnaires and translations.
