Multilingual surveys and forms help you reach participants that speak different languages. This can help you find out opinions from different groups, such as, tourists from a range of countries, or employees in different international locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snap XMP comes with a range of multilingual survey templates that you can use when creating your survey or form. The templates available depend on your location. These include English and Welsh in the UK, and English with Spanish or French in the US region. There are also a number of European language survey templates<\/a>, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add further languages to your questionnaire, or create your own multilingual survey templates. Find out more information in the Multi lingual surveys and forms<\/a> webinar. You may also adapt the style and language of one questionnaire to make it appropriate for sub-groups, such as, children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find out how to Selecting the language in a multi-lingual questionnaire by clicking an image<\/a> or how to show multi-lingual web pages after the survey or form is submitted<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
