Can i make a kobo questionnaire with two view arabic and english?

Hello,
To allow better support, could you tell us:

  • Are you working with KoBoCollect OR Enketo (Webform)?
  • Do you use XLSForm OR Formbuilder?
  • Do you work with fully separated language versions (i.e. data in AR and data in EN)?
  • Do you want a mixture, like hints for enumerator in EN, but questions and choices in AR?.
  • In which format do you want your data (e.g. text entries) for later analysis.
    always?

Here is a XLSForm template for AR / EN and an example for EN / AR mixture.

To preview (and work with) the AR version, you need to set KoBoToolbox (or Android App) in general AND the form to AR language.

You need to provide ALL labels (questions, choices) in EN and AR, and also ALL hints (and guidance_hints). Otherwise you will,have empty items shown. (If you use a mixture you could use a Excel = copy reference for the AR cell See example.)

There are some more details to take care of, like References like ${Name} in EN must be {Name}$ in AR text. And a mixture of right and left-aligned languages is tricky with KoBo (as with other tools too.)

Kind regards
