Hi @marswork,

I found a similar problem that was reported by one of our community member in May 2013. I am sharing you the link (Error-text not localizable for default locale) assuming you would be able to benefit from it.

Would it be possible to share your screen shot and the uploaded questionnaire if the problem still exists?

Hi @marswork,

Could you share with us the screen shot and the uploaded questionnaire? Hope the same would make us more clear on the issue!

Hi @marswork,

Please be informed that i simply deleted the “::English (English (en))” that you mentioned behind the label in the survey tab and choices tab. Similarly i too removed the default language column from the settings tab. You should only mention this when you have more than two different languages in the survey questionnaire!

Cheers!

Hi Henry,

Please check your mail. I found additional errors (besides those that i mentioned above) which caused the problem which is as follows:

  • There was one additional column ($given_name) which I deleted.
  • Then i simply converted the (guidance_hint) to (hint).
  • For details about guidance hint and hint please have a look to the following help article (Hint vs Guidance Hints).

ENJOY!
