The translate tag can be applied to survey elements to specify translation instructions. Both the translate tag and decorator can accept 'y' or 'n' inputs or language codes to specify which languages a survey element should be translated into.

Details
- The
translatetag can be added to any survey widget type. It is most commonly used with standalone lists (set lists), groups, questions, variables, anddefine sheet. - Questions that have an implicit
invisible: ytag are automatically excluded from translations. These include all quotas (regular, derived, click balance), variables created withselectby, coded variables, reporting-only variables, and summary variables. - To include content in a translation that would normally be excluded, include the
translate: ytag or decorator. - The
translatedecorator is also supported in sheets. - Any content that includes
translate: nwill also be hidden from the Masks applet.
Additional examples
Including content by specifying languages
If a survey has multiple translations, the translate tag or decorator can be used to specify which languages should include certain content in translations, rather than exclude it.
For r8 software versions, enter the language codes from the 'URL suffix' column here, separated by commas.
1. What's your favorite color? type: radio optsfrom: COLORS translate: spa,ger
For r9 software versions, enter the translation key, separated by commas.
1. What's your favorite color?
type: radio
optsfrom: COLORS
translate: spa-1,eng-2
The language codes shown in both examples above are also compatible with the translate decorator.
Translating sheets
Any survey spreadsheet content that has "text" in the column header is automatically included in translations. This includes the default "text" column, as well as any user-defined columns. A column labeled "example_text" would be translated; a column labeled "example" would not.
To exclude an entire sheet from translations, use the definesheet widget with translate: n.
definesheet: surveyid.mysheetname translate: n
