Bible translations that are **collaborative** are those that have been translated by a group of speakers of the same language. To ensure that your translation is of the highest quality, work together with other believers who speak your language to translate, check, and distribute the translated content. Bible translations that are **collaborative** are those that have been translated by a group of speakers of the same language.

Here are some ways to have others help improve the quality of the translation. Collaboration occurs through many ways during the translation process. First as the team gathers from different churches and villages, they commit to collaborate on the project as a whole. Secondly, as the team tests their translation by asking others to read or listen to it and provide feedback, the collaboration continues. In Level 2 and Level 3 checking, specific leaders and lay-Christians are invited to participate in checking the quality of the translation. This again increases collaboration.
* Read the translation out loud to someone. Have him notice if the sentences connect well. Ask that person to point to words or phrases that do not sound right or are unclear. Make changes so that it sounds as if someone from your community is speaking. Whenever possible the translation team should endeavor to include other Christians from their language group in the translation process, so as to continue and expand on the collaborative nature of the project.
* Ask someone to read your translation to check your spelling. You may have spelled a word differently when it was not necessary. Some words change in different situations, but some words can stay the same in every situation. Take note of these changes, so others can know what decisions you have made on the spelling of your language.
* Ask yourself if the way you wrote can be recognized easily by speakers of different dialects in your language community. Ask others how they would say something that is not clear in your translation.
Make changes to the translation before you distribute it to a wider audience.
Remember, if possible, work together with other believers who speak your language to translate, check, and distribute the translated content, ensuring that it is of the highest quality and that as many people as possible can read and understand it.
