Define Languages

An application can contain question text in multiple languages. The interviewer can switch among available languages as needed.
  1. From the Question Text menu, select Languages. The Languages dialog box will be displayed, showing the languages currently defined for the application.
  2. You can add, remove, or modify the your application's languages.
  3. You can also define multiple languages for your dictionary and message file.
Notes
  • Language names follow the same rules as names; that is, they must be unique and cannot contain spaces. Try using abbreviations like EN (English), ES (Spanish), FR (French), or PT (Portuguese). We recommend using ISO 639-1 two digit codes. When those codes are used, on mobile the initial language will be set automatically based on the language in use on the mobile device.
  • Language labels can contain any text to describe the language.
  • During data entry, the interviewer can easily switch among languages.
