Multiple custom validation messages in a survey? | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello, folx!
I'm working on a bilingual Spanish/English survey for some of our grantees. I want all of the validation/error messages to display in both languages.
I've successfully changed the default validation message to "Por favor, responda a esta pregunta. // Please answer this question."
However, I also want the system to display bilingual messages for validating email addresses, phone numbers, and the like. But it sounds like this isn't possible. Or, at least, I haven't yet found something online explains how to do this. I see how I can create custom validation messages that are new but not how I can replace default messages, and I don't know how to build a custom validation for something like emails or phone numbers.
Is this possible? I'm really hoping it is because a bilingual survey without bilingual error messages really isn't bilingual!
FYI, if it involves JavaScript, I'll need as much detail as you can provide. I'm less-than-new to JS, so it's easiest for me to be able to replace one of Qualtrics's default lines of code in its entirety instead of having to figure out where to place something on my own. :-/
Thanks for any guidance anyone has to offer.

It is possible, you'll have to do it with JavaScript, and it will be have to be specific to each possible default validation message and language. Maybe someone else will be willing to spend the time to do it for you.
