Objective:
To establish the psychometric properties of the Urdu version of Menopause Rating Scale..
Methods:
The study was conducted at Lahore from 1, 2017 to 10, 2017. In first phase, the Menopause Rating Scale was forward and backward-translated and linguistic equivalence was checked by using it on a sample of bilingual respondents. In the second phase, reliability estimation of the scale was established over separate sample. Psychometric properties of the Urdu version were checked by using alpha index, split-half reliability, test-re-test reliability, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses..
Results:
There were 130 women with a mean age of 50.94±4.71 years (range: 40-55 years). Linguistic equivalence was significantly high (p<0.01). High Cronbach's alpha value (p<0.001) indicated high internal consistency reliability. Exploratory factors analysis structured 3 original factors of the Urdu version of the scale and confirmatory factor analysis value 0.965 indicated that the structured model was acceptable with good fit. Test re-test reliability was 0.991 (p<0.01).
Conclusion:
Urdu version of Menopause Rating Scale was found to be highly reliable with a valid measure for Pakistani culture.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
