Translate questions

On Pulse → Questions, open the menu at the end of a question’s row and choose Manage translations. The Question translations box opens.

Before you start

Your company needs at least one extra survey language. Admins with Pulse Pro add them in Pulse → Settings under Survey question languages. See Pulse settings. Until then, the box says “No additional survey languages are configured.”

Steps

1. Under Add translations, pick one or more Languages.
2. Select Generate translations. The translations are written automatically, so read each one before you save it.
3. Select a language above the text to see its translation. Edit the question, and the answer choices for a multiple-choice question. Each language shows Saved or Not saved yet.
4. Select Save translations. You’ll see “Translations saved.”

You can’t save until every translated question and answer choice is filled in. The footer says “Complete every translated question and answer choice.” until they are.

Vantage Circle questions

Questions with the source Vantage Circle are shared by every company, so their translations are read-only. The box says “This Vantage Circle question is shared by all companies, so its translations are read-only. Create a company question if you need different wording.” Select Add company question to write your own version.

What employees see

When a survey starts, employees can pick their language from a list at the top of the survey. The list isn’t shown in Microsoft Teams or in demo surveys.

If something goes wrong

“Translations could not be generated. Try again.” Nothing was created. Select Generate translations again.

“Some translations were not saved. Review the languages below and try again.” Languages still marked Not saved yet need saving again.

“Answer choices could not be loaded. Translations cannot be changed until they are available.” This only affects multiple-choice questions. Select Try again.
