Dear Binsee,   Yes, it is acceptable and practically possible to translate your data from your national language to another language. Still, at the same time, you need to overcome some challenges while including the natural emotions in your qualitative data. For instance, if you are telling a statement that can be understood only by your language people, during this time, it is challenging to make the other language readers understand the essence of the original meaning.    However, it is possible to make other language people understand your qualitative data by providing thoughts that resemble their meaning.    Kind Regards, Sara

Hi Sara, Indeed, it is significant to understand the deep meaning of original data, and the work will become easier if you communicate with your colleagues. And also, helping each other during the translation will help for precise results and avoid unwanted conflicts. Let's make a more explicit version of it.  Take help from people through different social network sources. Analyze the original meaning of the statement and try to provide at least 80 - 90% similarity meaning that matches the actual meaning so they can understand your view and what you mean. Don't worry if your statements are slightly off or different, but the information should be clear to the readers. Try to bring the set of beliefs and provide the experience through a variety of approaches. And be very conscious while stating the cultural issues because they may be misunderstood by other language people if it is not appropriately disclosed. Thank you

Hi Lilith, In-Addition to your context, I will add some more points that will be helpful for the researchers while translating the research paper. It is necessary to cross-check the statement plenty of times before publishing it in a different language. And follow these simple steps: Step -1: Determine the work Step -2:Do forward translation of the statement Step -3: Backward translation Step -4:Examine in both native languages and other languages Step -5:Check the whole process to match the meaning Thank you, and I hope you understand the process.

Hi Binsee, Indeed, it is possible to translate from the national language to the English Language. But before you start to crack, keep these simple terms in your mind. For example, Suppose if you are unclear with your argument while translating them or provide an inappropriate meaning. In that case, it is better to remove information or sentences from the document because it will help you avoid some future concerns. At first, it might be hard to translate, but once you become proficient in the translation part, it will be effortless to provide the best translation outcome without breaking its meaning.  I hope you understand—All the best for your future endeavors.
