Translating Content into Languages Other Than English
Communities seeking to make polls and surveys available to non-English speakers can do so in several ways. First, and most commonly, you can rely on native browser translation to translate in real time. If you'd prefer to have a professional translator translate, you can create separate copies of the poll or survey in other languages. If you do not have translators on staff or available to you, please ask about our translation services provided by our research arm, National Research Center. Email success@polco.us.
Please note that if you post surveys in multiple languages, your subscribers will be notified and invited to fill out all surveys. This can be confusing if they have already filled out the survey in English. In order to avoid this, we recommend posting surveys in languages other than English as link-only. (Navigate to Share and Manage Access, scroll down to Manage Access, and set permissions to “Only people with the link.”) Make sure to include a link to surveys in other languages in the description of your English-language survey.
