Multilanguage

There is a test/sample survey that prompts the user to pick what language they would like to use to take the survey.

Can someone tell me how once the language is picked where does it go from there and how would I set up that option?

I am specifically interested in Spanish (Latin Am) and I noticed that is not an option in the country drop down? Where would I get this info from? (using version 1.2.2.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Multilanguage

Hi Herk,

A quick and short instruction:

1. Create survey

2. Choose Settings - Multi languages - enable multi languages - enable your language (Spanish - should be there in the dropdownl list) - choose ML mode

More details: http://www.surveyproject.info/en/Wiki/tabid/163/topic/MultiLanguages/Default.aspx

3 Next go to forms builder - add question/ answers - switch language option (Edition Language) and create translation - save question or answer -switch language and create seconde translation - save etc.

4. You can also switch language (Edition language) for the Form Builder as a whole.

Note: The Survey admin tool makes use of (xml) language files too. The language setting of your webbrowser determine the xml languagefiles used to present webpage texts.

This effect can be changed in the web.config file: culture/ uiculture. If set to "auto" Survey™ will pick up the culture/ language of your browsersettings. To explicitely pick a specific culture/ language, replace "auto" with "en-US" or "nl-NL" for example.

The xml files can easily be found and changed. Check the instructions on the Forums on how to create new language files.

More details soon on wiki.

Kind regards,

Thanks for your reply.

I've tried what you have suggested but I get the following error so I'm not sure why this is happening? f.y.i. Spanish was not in the dropdown list as an option so I looked at the xml available for version 1.2.3. and it was there so I copied them into the 1.2.2. xml/language folder. I'm guessing that this may be the cause of my error but I was at the end of my trial and error wits.

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Thanks

Herk

Re: Multilanguage

I have figured out what was wrong. There were two xml files missing for Spanish. I made copies of the US files and renamed them to spanish (just to see if it fixed the issue).

Does anyone have the real Spanish Language xml files that I could get? I'm under a time crunch and we need to get our survey out in english and spanish.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Herk
