Multilingual Surveys

Multilingual surveys let you translate your surveys into the languages of your choice. Respondents can have their pick from the list of languages and take the survey accordingly. Reach a wider audience on a global scale with Multilingual surveys!

For instance, let's say you want to conduct a CSAT survey across countries such as the United States, UK, France, Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. With Multilingual surveys, respondents can pick a language that they're comfortable with before starting the survey.

Respondents will see the survey in their browser language if it's already supported in the survey. Otherwise, the default language will be English. For example, if the respondent's browser language is French, and the survey has been translated/created in French, they will see it in French by default. Respondents can also change the language from the list provided in the survey.

Here’s a preview!

Let's see how it looks.

Now, let's see how it works:

1. After creating your survey, click on the Languages icon on the left navigation bar.

2. You'll see a list view of all your survey questions with English as the default language.

3. Click "+ New Language".

4. Select a language from the list of available languages.

You'll notice an option for Google Translate at the bottom of the list of languages. Once enabled, you can allow Google Translate to translate your survey automatically.

8. Click Save.
