The quality of the processes for translation and establishing linguistic equivalence were evaluated using the Quality of Translation and Linguistic Equivalence Checklist (QTLC).Results: A high level of inter-rater agreement was reported. A high level of compliance with International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines for translation and linguistic equivalence was achieved. An expert reviewer (ER) concluded that the isiXhosa version of the E3SR-R demonstrated content validity.Conclusion: The E3SR-R English version was successfully adapted to isiXhosa.Contribution: The resultant isiXhosa translation extends the availability and utility of the E3SR-R to isiXhosa speakers.
