3. If you would like the system to translate the survey in the following languages, click on ‘Auto-translate.’ When it hits 100%, the translation is completed. If you would like assistance with translating and localizing a survey, select ‘Get Quote’ and we will contact you directly to work on a translation project.

4. We recommend for you to review all translations and edit to localize as needed. Click the ‘view’ icon on the right to review the survey and its automated translations.

If you see changes to make to the automated translations which may include logos, skip to the manual translation steps below to customize and update your survey. This may include changes to logos, images, and more.
