“…They are not allowed to make any important decisions in the family as all authority resides with the males—husbands, brothers, fathers, and uncles. Pavlish and Ho (2009) recently found that the customary law is still commonly applied in South Sudan. The authors assert that customary law most often violates women's human rights.…”

“…Many published reports describe the translation process but do not report the qualifications or background of the translators themselves, how they were trained, the nature of their role and relationship with the researcher, or what compromises were made in the translation process to accommodate the specific cultural context of the targeted group.

The purpose of this special section is to describe culturally competent approaches for working with translators or interpreters who participate in transcultural studies. This article provides background for three exemplars of lessons learned in working with translators in transcultural studies: (a) the resettlement transition experiences of women from the Dinka tribe of Southern Sudan (Baird), (b) Samoans' risk for heart disease (Siaki), and (c) culturally Deaf adults' perceptions about depression (Sheppard).Capitalizing the word "Deaf" has gained wide acceptance to indicate a linguistic minority of people who have a hearing loss and use American Sign Language, a hallmark of Deaf culture. In each case, the individual researcher made adaptations to the usual processes of translation/back-translation when appropriate to the cultural context and the specific situations of the translators. Although these lessons were learned during research-related activities, they may apply to other circumstances when nurses work with bilingual/bicultural translators (e.g., translating consent forms or communicating with persons who have limited literacy in their native language).
