How to add static text after a text entry box?

I am using this approach and it works perfectly when (a) I only have one text prompt or (b) all the prompts on a grid should have the same label. I am wondering if there is a tweak I need to use so that I could use two different labels (where one label should be "days" and another should be "%" for example)?

Hi @TomG
This is how I do the pipe text.
!
The result that I got is ${q://QID490/ChoiceTextEntryValue}
Am I doing it wrong?

___I don't understand your "Should I pipe to the new translated question(English) or to the original question (Indonesia)?" question. You can't choose which language to pipe. Qualtrics pipes the current language.___
What I mean for that question is, when I want to choose questions to pipe, should I choose my original question or should I choose new question that I just created (English).

Also, as I said, when I do think, my original question did not contain static year anymore.
Thank you.

@TomG

Sorry if I ask again, I still didn't get it.
As you suggested,
1. I created new questions with translation (English)
2. I managed to do display logic with hide=1
3. I put this into my javascript:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
var input = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText");
input.after(" ${q://QID490/ChoiceTextEntryValue/1}");
input.css("width","120px");
});


"${q://QID490/ChoiceTextEntryValue" This is my pipe text of question label Q490.
Should I pipe to the new translated question(English) or to the original question (Indonesia)?

4. I am sorry, I mean I used Preview Survey. It still did not work for translation and for the original.

What did I miss now?
Thank you so much

I would like "tahun" shows in the main language (Indonesia) and "years" in my translated version (English). Is it possible to do that? Thank you.

@Sherly,

You are mixing two different scripts. The script you posted is jQuery, except the last line which is Prototypejs. Replace the input.after(" tahun") line with:
```
input.after(" ${q://QID490/ChoiceDescription/1}");
```
And delete the $(input)... line.

@Sherly - In Display Logic where it says "Question" select "Embedded Data" then type "hide" in the box next to it, then "Is Equal to" in the next box, then type "1" in the last box. Since "hide" is an undefined embedded data variable it will never be equal to 1 and the question will never display.

The only thing that changes in Q490 is the JavaScript, where you pipe in choice text from the "Piped translations" question. You add the "Piped translations" question as a new question to the beginning of your survey (see image in previous message). The only difference is "years" would be "tahun" since the base language for the survey is Bahasa Indonesia. Then in your English translation, "years" is the translation for "tahun".

!
Hi Tom, I am sorry, I think do not understand with what you mention above. How do I choose the display logic? I attach you the picture of my questions and my translation. Basically, I will show my questionnaire in Indonesia language, which I already put static text, which is "tahun". But I could not put static text in my English language, which should be "years".

Thank you for your help.

Hi @TomG ,
Thank you so much for your answer. Can you tell me more detail? That means that I need to create another question containing the same questions, but with the phrases that I want it to be in translated survey. Then I hide this question using the display logic and then add Javascript for the questions that I just created. Is that the one that you explain to me? Apologise, I am very new with Qualtrics.

Hi Tom,

I have 2 versions of my questionnaire, with different translation. I use the translation features from Qualtrics and put my translation in translation box. I would like to ask if you know how to add this static "years" in my translation box?

Thank you so much,
Best Regards,
Sherly

HI, I would like to ask, how to change the text size and text type of "years"?

I have a question related to the original post. I used the JavaScript posted by Clint in November 2017 and it worked. However, the static text after the textbox is appearing underneath the textbox and is slightly covered by it. I was wondering if there was any way to amend the code to tidy it up?
