Back Translate is an optional feature in a Render project, dependent on the consultant's need or preference. If the consultant does not speak the receptor language of the translation team and would like this type of back translation, Back Translate should be turned on. This can be changed by the Configure of your project.
As a user with Back Translation assignments, you will listen to the receptor language translation and record your back translation in a language that the consultant understands.
