When the selected fielding country only offers one, non-English language, but you want to program and analyze your survey in English, use the Translation tool to set your Researcher language to English.
Setting EN as Researching Language
- Select a country from the Country/language drop-down, and set up your Target Market page.
- Click Write Survey to proceed to the Survey Editor.
-
Before you begin programming the survey, click on the Languages button in the upper right corner of the Survey Editor.
- Click the Language dropdown and select Set EN as Researcher Language. This will create two columns, designating English as the researcher language, and original fielding languages the respondent language.
Note: the English version will NOT be shown to respondents, but will appear in the Survey Editor and the Results page only.

Programming your Survey
- Return to the Survey Editor page and program your survey in English.
- Click the Translations button to open the Translation Table once the survey has been programmed.
- Click Download CSV. The resulting download will have a column for the survey schema, a column for Logic, a column for the researcher language (which should be filled in already), and an empty column for your translation. Make edits to this document, or send this file to your Translator.
Note: aytm recommends saving the updated CSV file as CSV UTF-8.
- Click Upload CSV on the Translation Table to upload the updated version into the platform.
Helpful Hint: Be sure to preview the entire survey in Respondent Mode, confirming that respondents see the correct language
