Example of multilingual survey

Using multilingual surveys

Multilingual surveys have various languages from which respondents can choose to answer the survey. The prime use of multilingual surveys is to reach out to the global audience, providing them the convenience to answer the survey in their familiar/local language. 

Most of the survey platforms provide the multilingual feature. You can add the languages of your choice to your survey, with a screener question. The Screener question is nothing but a question which asks respondents to choose their preferred language. 

Once the language is selected, you will need to translate the survey into another language. To do so, there are two options:

  • Auto-translate – using survey multilingual translation tools to automatically translate all the aspects of the survey, right from the questions to answers, progress bars, etc.
  • Manual translation – when you have limited languages made available, you can choose to manually translate the survey and its other aspects.
