In cross-cultural and cross-linguistic studies, it would be often crucial to have some appropriate translation between multiple cultures or languages. Typically, such translation is made by experts of the domain, but it may discourage collaborative studies with non-expert researcher, who cannot evaluate the goodness of translation. Given this problem in mind, this study aims to build a statistical method that allow us to translate one dataset to the other with high transparency in its computational mechanism. Specifically, we propose an extension of correspondence analysis, which is applicable to multiple datasets and can estimate translator variables between them.
