Translation Policy

We are thrilled that there is interest in translating the CONSORT Statement into other languages. Much time and resources have been invested by many to produce these documents, and we are supportive of activities that increase the access and usefulness of CONSORT.

In order to ensure that the translated words and meanings are as the CONSORT Group has intended them to be, we request that those who are interested in translating the CONSORT Statement first contact the CONSORT executive to discuss the process of translation, back-translation and dissemination of translated versions.

We would also be happy to announce and create links to translated documents on the CONSORT website.
