Translating piped text value with JavaScript

Hi @xelaO,

I got few ideas that might help. 

• Try to use addOnReady instead of addOnLoad as I am not sure if all data is already available while loading the screen
• Fetch the language via the Q_lang element
• Fetch the embedded data via Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData

So it should be something like this: 

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
    // Get the selected language choice
    var selectedLanguage = document.getElementById("Q_lang").value;

    // Get the current value of the piped text
    var pipedTextValue = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData( 'addedinfo' );

    // Trim whitespace from the piped text value
    pipedTextValue = pipedTextValue.trim();

    // Define the specific text to search for
    var searchText = "This is the current text.";

    // Check if the piped text contains the specific text
    if (pipedTextValue.indexOf(searchText) !== -1) {
        // Check if the selected language is French
        if (selectedLanguage === "French") {
            // Replace the content of the preferenceInsight element with the French translation
            document.getElementById("preferenceInsight").innerText = "French translation of the text";
        }
    } else {
        // Log a message to the console for debugging if the specific text is not found
        console.log("The specific text was not found in the piped text value:", pipedTextValue);
    }
});

Please check the code I provided: 

• Are the correct embedded data names used (addedinfo)? 
• Is the language code really “French” and not “FR”?
• Either you place the code in some question’s JavaScript or you place it in the footer HTML code in the settings

Hope this helps you.

Best

My updated comment below.

Hi @xelaO By ‘dynamically calling translated versions of the survey’, I’m anticipating that you want to show a response summary of the survey in that particular translated language at the very end. If yes, please go through this page.
Is this you are looking for?

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
    // Get the selected language choice
    var selectedLanguage = document.getElementById("Q_lang").value;

    // Get the current value of the piped text
    var pipedTextValue = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData( 'addedinfo' );

    // Trim whitespace from the piped text value
    pipedTextValue = pipedTextValue.trim();

    // Define the specific text to search for
    var searchText = "This is the current text.";

    // Check if the piped text contains the specific text
    if (pipedTextValue.indexOf(searchText) !== -1) {
        // Check if the selected language is French
        if (selectedLanguage === "French") {
            // Replace the content of the preferenceInsight element with the French translation
            document.getElementById("preferenceInsight").innerText = "French translation of the text";
        }
    } else {
        // Log a message to the console for debugging if the specific text is not found
        console.log("The specific text was not found in the piped text value:", pipedTextValue);
    }
});

I am still curious about this even though I found a workaround. You raised solid points in reference to some things I was doing wrong i.e. language code plus suggesting fetching with the Q_Language element. Hence, I will still play around with my initial code a bit out of curiosity to see if it had a chance of also solving my problem. Much appreciated.
