Style/Layout changes based on Language

[Jeff]

Good morning,

I'm currently setting up a survey to support multiple languages, English and Spanish, and I have a specific questions regarding the appearance of the survey:

Our survey contains text and images in the Header/Footer section of the Style it uses. However, we would like this text to be changed depending on which language the survey is presented in. (The same question applies to Page Templates within the Style preferences).

In the administration console, I've tried selecting English as the "Current Survey Language", and navigate to the "Survey Style" preferences. However, any changes I make there are saved, and when I select Spanish as the "Current Survey Language", the changes persist.

Is it possible to have a different Style/Page Template for a single survey depending on the language in use?

Edit: On a similar note, I'm also trying to have the Login text on the Login page change to reflect the language selection. I edited the database entries directly with the new "es-US" Language Code, and the changes do appear, but is there a variable or value somewhere that I can reference to find out what language is active? Currently the only way to change language is to select it from the drop-down on the login page, and I'd like to remove this if possible

It is difficult to answer this question without knowing exactly which version of Checkbox you are using. My response assumes you are using the current release of the product, version 4.4.1.14.

1. Both the header and footer text support multi language support. On the EditHeader.aspx page you should see a dropdown list in the upper right hand corner which lists the available languages. Select the language you would like to edit, make your changes, save them and repeat for as many languages as you would like.

2. I do not believe it is possible to control which style/page template is used based on the survey language. I will add this request to the development teams internal tracker.

3. At this time the application text is controlled by your selection on the login page. If you have configured more than one application language you will need to select which you would like to use when logging in.

For more information on MLS support I would suggest reviewing our training page (http://www.prezzatech.com/training/), there are a couple of videos and a quick start guide on the subject.
