Trials quietly exclude people who do not speak the local language because consent forms and questionnaires exist only in that language. Sponsors should provide validated translations for any language spoken by at least 5 percent of the catchment and fund interpreters; translations of common instruments already exist for dozens of languages.

Validated translations of common PRO instruments already exist for dozens of languages.
