Editions of a questionnaire contain the same number of questions, in the same order, with the same response type for each question. Format editions contain different layouts for the questionnaire. Language editions have different text for the questionnaire. In Snap XMP Desktop a survey can have any number of formats, and any number of languages. New language editions can use different languages, or use different question text in the same language. For example, you might want to publish the same questionnaire directed at adults or children. You could also localise the same questionnaire for different areas <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tutorial describes how to create a dual-language questionnaire. If you are publishing to Snap XMP Online or Interviewer, you can set up the questionnaire so that the participant selects their preferred language and then completes the questionnaire in that language. The responses expected are identical for both languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>\n Each language edition consists of a name, a language code and the edition text.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/a>Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need to enter a name that describes the new language edition when you create it. The name shows in the edition tab to help you identify the edition. Snap XMP Desktop provides default language names that are associated with a particular character set (e.g. Russian), but you can use any name, and select any character set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/a>Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n You select the language when you create a language edition. The languages are currently listed as ISO (International Standards Organisation) codes. This defines what characters you can use. (To see them appear correctly, you need to set up that language in Windows.) For example, if you select ru (Russian) you will be able to enter Cyrillic. If you are not sure which language is represented by a code, select a named language in the Name box, and note the code shown in the lower box.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/a>Edition Text<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n The text includes all the text in your questionnaire, such as titles, question text and labels. When you create a new language edition, existing text is:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
