Abstract
There is currently a lack of consensus regarding the process of translating psychological measures from English to Spanish. Equivalent translations are necessary to ensure research in Spanish-speaking populations is valid. We review current translation strategies, and identify best practices for accuracy. Suggested guidelines are presented for researchers to follow.
