Back-translation involves a two-step process where a text is translated from one language to another and then translated back into the original language by a different translator. This process helps to ensure accuracy and fidelity in translation. The translators work independently to avoid bias and then meet to resolve any discrepancies, ensuring the translation's accuracy and consistency.
