Procedure documentationTranslating Questions and Sections

 

When purchasers create questions or sections in the question library, they always create them in the original language. To enable a cooperation between the purchasers and the recipients of the questionnaires in several languages, you can translate questions and sections. This covers the following texts:

  • Question text

  • Explanation for the question

  • The possible answers

  • Section title

  • Explanation for the section

Translating questions and sections can be done in two ways:

This document describes the online translation.

Prerequisites

At least one translation language for the questions or sections must have been defined in the question library.

Procedure

To translate questions or sections, do the following:

  1. Depending on the business process for which the question library is used, click Translate Question Library for Qualification or Translate Question Library for Evaluation.

  2. To translate a question or section, select it on the corresponding tab. To find questions and sections that you need to translate more easily, you can sort the list by the status To be translated.

  3. Select the target language into which you are translating the question or section.

  4. Change the status for the target language from To be translated to In Translation.

    Note that the Status of All Translations remains To Be Translated or In Translation until translations for all target languages are available.

  5. Translate the question text, the corresponding explanation and the possible answers, or the section title and the corresponding explanation. You can find possible answers to a question, if they exist, on a separate tab.

  6. When you have finished, set the status for your target language to Translated.

Note Note

You can enter text in the Internal Note to communicate with the person who created the question or section. If the Internal Note already contains text, we recommend that you do not overwrite this text but add your text to the note. The system does not store previous versions of a note.

End of the note.
