Follow-up to survey and a request

[EmilyElle]

Hey all! Thank you all so much for answering my survey. You've all been a fantastic help. However, I've only had two people from Japan answer it. I know there aren't too many people in Japan on these boards, but if there are any, could you please take the survey? It would be a humongous help to me.

Also... and this request is a lot bigger... I really need it translated into Japanese. My boyfriend is in Japan and he could get a lot more people to take it than I could online, but only if it's translated into Japanese. I know how long it is, but most of it is repetitive, and... I'm really not expecting anyone to do this. But I've asked at other places and no one ever replied, even to say "sorry, but good luck finding someone."

Anyway, sorry to bother the hell out of you guys. You're all awesome.

Oh, yes- the thread with the "naked" survey is here (http://www.outpostnine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5051).

That survey does not translate well into Japanese. Just so you know.

[EmilyElle]

That's what I was thinking. Is there any way it could be re-worded?

[Pierrot le Fou]

Not without making it entirely useless as any sort of significant research. The questions are ambiguous in both languages and wouldn't have the same impact in each, not to mention that it doesn't account for reasoning behind comfort.

99% of Japanese people will likely put 'not comfortable' for every single one of those answers because of the cultural differences in regards to PDAs.

Mmm. That was what I guessed they would put, you see. I've focused on other aspects in the rest of my survey, this section is mostly about PDAs, etc.
