TLDR
The authors investigated factors that affect translation quality and how equivalence between source and target versions can be evaluated through an analysis of variance design, and concluded that translation quality can be predicted, and that a functionally equivalent translation can be demonstrated when responses to the original and target translations are studied.Abstract:
Two aspects of translation were investigated: (1) factors that affect translation quality, and (2) how equivalence between source and target versions can be evaluated. The variables of language, content, and difficulty were studied through an analysis of variance design. Ninety-four bilinguals from the University of Guam, representing ten languages, translated or back-translated six essays incorporating three content areas and two levels of difficulty. The five criteria for equivalence were based on comparisons of meaning or predictions of similar responses to original or translated versions. The factors of content, difficulty, language and content-language interaction were significant, and the five equivalence criteria proved workable. Conclusions are that translation quality can be predicted, and that a functionally equivalent translation can be demonstrated when responses to the original and target versions are studied.read more

Determinants of Consumer Perceptions toward Mobile Advertising — A Comparison between Japan and Austria
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate factors influencing the perception of mobile advertising in different cultures based on samples from Austria and Japan, and empirically examine relevant m-advertising effects, finding that infotainment and credibility are key factors predicting advertising value among Austrians and the Japanese.

Influence and adjustment goals: sources of cultural differences in ideal affect.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that within and across American and Chinese contexts, differences in ideal affect are due to specific interpersonal goals.

''Piensa'' twice: On the foreign language effect in decision making
TL;DR: The absence of a foreign language effect in the cognitive reflection test suggests that foreign language leads to a reduction of heuristic biases in decision making across a range of decision making situations and provides also some evidence about the boundaries of the phenomenon.
