Answer:

back translation

Step-by-step explanation:

A back translation process requires that the translated document (or phrase in this case) be translated first from one language to another and then be translated back again into the original language to check that the main idea didn't change during the translation process. By carrying out a back translation, you are checking if the message wasn't changed.
