Say “Yes!” to Global Research with Our Bilingual Moderation Experts

As you target a new global audience or niche, you’ll need solid research to back up your organizational strategy.

Bilingual research moderation experts are essential to ensuring high-quality data from your focus groups, surveys, in-depth interviews, digital forums, discussion guides, summary recaps and beyond. An expert linguist can facilitate meaningful engagement with cultural sensitivity so that your organization collects valuable insights. 

Here’s why you should say “yes!” to hiring our bilingual moderation experts for your next global research project. 

What Is Bilingual Research Moderation?

Focus groups and IDIs are typically led by experienced researchers who understand how to draw out accurate and honest insights from participants. 

Bilingual research moderators follow this same approach, but they have the native language skills of the target audience and use culturally sensitive discussion strategies to engage participants. These bilingual researchers capture feedback using the full nuance of participants’ native language, ensuring that participants feel comfortable sharing their perspectives without limitations. This opens doors to richer and more authentic insights.

Top benefits of leveraging bilingual research moderation include: 

• Facilitating maximum participant engagement. Our bilingual facilitators enable participants to speak in their preferred language, sparking more vibrant insights. This results in stronger trust and overall higher engagement. 
• Bridging cultural sensitivity. So often cultural signals are lost in translation. Our expert moderators lead focus groups and IDIs with a multicultural lens. They pick up on subtle nuances in expressions, idioms and non-verbal cues to glean all potential feedback. They also know how to adapt to different communication styles that are common in the native language.
• Harnessing meaningful, accurate insights. Our bilingual experts ensure that translations accurately convey the intended meanings of participants’ responses. Their meticulous approach safeguards against misunderstandings, upholding the authenticity of research insights.
