The survey main tab defines basic parameters for the survey.


Languages


NoviSurvey support multilingual surveys (i.e., surveys defined in more than one language). The field languages defines the languages for the survey. For example, if English (United States) and French (France) are selected, respondents will be able to take the survey in either English or French.


A least one language is required.

To select languages click, use button to move languages to the selected box and button to deselect languages.


By default, the list of available languages shows only languages for which a spell checker is available. To show all languages, click on the All option above the list of available languages. Note that languages for which a spell checker is available have an asterisk (*) after their name.


When a language is added to a survey that has questions, the text for each existing question will need to be edited for the new language (see also Page detail)


When a language is removed from a survey that has questions, the text for the existing question for the language will be deleted.
