Answer 1

The greatest challenge of qualitative research is the language difference in data collection process, the issue will be much more critical if there a presence of translator. The appropriate process of translation always been required but still due to different language some hinderences are there for appropriate translation. This can affect the research data. So the research tool is very important in this regard, close ended questions are better options to get the appropeiate response.otherwise if translation process is there to collect the research data it will affect the consistency of the data.
