Automated text translation

Often research states "this is limited to English-language literature". We need to get away from that!

Research questions

  • Are out-of-the-box translation models reliable enough (for abstract screening and
    coding)?
  • Can translation also safely be used for query translation (no outside foreign-language
    expertise needed)?

Minimum viable approach

  • Develop queries in multiple languages and fetch data
  • Have multi-lingual team code original language
  • Simultaneously code English translation
  • Compare correlation of inter-rater reliability
