qualitranslate: Translation Workflow for Qualitative Interview Transcripts
A local browser workspace for translating qualitative interview
transcripts in research. Transcript sections are translated in batches by
forward translation, then by a blind back-translation whose request holds
only the forward translation (never the original, the study context, the
glossary or translator notes), and then by a reconciliation step that
compares all three texts, flags discrepancies by category and severity and
proposes a draft. Every draft needs a named human review decision before it
counts as reviewed. Each stage can be run by copying prompt packets into
any chat tool, including institutional chat services, or through the
'Mistral' or 'Anthropic' ('Claude') application programming interfaces.
Exports include reviewed translations, a parallel review table, the exact
prompts and replies, a hash-chained audit record and a draft methods
paragraph. Projects are interchangeable with the 'Python' version of the
tool.
