Survey Language

If you want to show your survey to the respondent in multiple langauges ,this article will be helpful to you. With Fynzo Survey, you can do survey in multiple languages. Create survey in one language (Default language) and translate it to multiple additional languages. When respondents view the survey, they can select and view the survey in additional languages, aside from the default language. You can manually translate to additional languages or you can use our auto-translate feature which will translate into your additional languages in just one click. You can review your translation and edit any part of translation.

First let's understand what is default language, additional language and what are their importance.

Default Language : The default language is the one in which you input questions during creation. It's the language in which the survey is initially displayed to respondents when they open it. So the language in which you create the survey will be shown by default to respondents when they open the survey.

Additional Languages : We can add additional languages. We can translate into additional languages manually or using auto-translate feature.  When respondents view the survey, they can select and view the survey in additional languages as well, aside from the default language. 

Lets see how we can achieve all this. 

Click 'Language' Button

Open your survey and click on 'Language' Button on the left side of the panel.

Open 'Language Settings'

Click on the 'Language Settings' as shown.

Change Default Language

The system assumes that you are creating the survey in English by default. If you plan to create the survey in another language (e.g., Hindi) and make it multilingual (eg., by adding English as an additional language), you should change the default language to Hindi.

If you choose Hindi as your default language, it will appear first in the language selection dropdown on the survey page. Refer to the image below for clarification.



Choose Hindi from the drop-down and click Submit. Now hindi is your default langauge.

Add Additional Languages

To add additional languages in the same survey, click 'Additional Languages,'  and toggle on the desired languages whihc you want to add, and click 'Submit' when finished.
