Select languages

Select the default language and available languages for a survey study or a library.

1. In the survey study or library, click the Languages tab.
2. In the Default column, select the default language.
   The default survey language is used as the base for translations, in Quick Tests, and as the default language for deployments. Each survey has one default survey language.
   Note: Unless you change it, the default survey language matches the default community language, which is set by Alida during the community setup.
   If the language you select is initially Disabled:

   • The Status column of the new default language is blank.
   • The status of the previous default language changes to In progress, and a translation portal link is created.

   If the language you select is In Progress or Completed:

   • The Status and Translation Portal columns of the new default language become blank.
   • The status of the previous default language changes to In progress, and a translation portal link is created.
   For more information on the statuses, see The Languages tab.
3. Select the available languages.
   1. In the Status column of the language, click Disabled.
   2. In the Translation Status dialog, type a survey title for this language.
   3. From the Status list, select In progress, and then click OK.
      Result: The language status changes to In progress, and the survey title, progress, and translation portal link appear in the list.
   4. Optional: To select another language, repeat steps a to c.
