Hi all,
Is it possible to have default answers appear in different languages according to the language of the question? I’ve tried inserting on XLS with the “default::language” heading but no luck. The long way round would be to create separate questions per each language but that would complicate things a little too much.
Cheers,
John
Hi John,
I’m not aware of a way to translate the default response like that.
The simplest option (though not ideal) could be to use a translated ‘hint::xyz’ to imply or coach the person to enter the value.
But a better option could be to do a “select_one xyz or_other” with a default value where xyz is a one-item, translated choice list.
Note: this doesn’t let you translate the “other” text, so if you want to do that you would have to manually create the second “other” question and show it conditionally.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for your response, Alex. I think your workarounds are the only way to do it.
Cheers,
