translate tag

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.

Tag

set list: AGELIST
translate: n
1. 1 - 17
18. 18 - 24
25. 25 - 34
35. 35 - 44
45. 45 - 54
55. 55 - 64
65. 65+

Decorator

set conditioned text: ROWSQ8
1. (e.g., International Brand 1) {if anyChecked($QCNTRY,11)} {translate: n}
2. (e.g., International Brand 2) {if anyChecked($QCNTRY,12)} {translate: n}
3. (e.g., Brand 3 that needs localization) {if anyChecked($QCNTRY,16)} 

Details

• The translate tag can be added to any survey widget type. It is most commonly used with standalone lists (set lists), groups, questions, variables, and define sheet.
• Questions that have an implicit invisible: y tag are automatically excluded from translations. These include all quotas (regular, derived, click balance), variables created with selectby, coded variables, reporting-only variables, and summary variables.
• To include content in a translation that would normally be excluded, include the translate tag or decorator.
• The translate decorator is also supported in sheets.
• Any content that includes translate: n will also be hidden from the Masks applet.
