Survey always in English (with multiple languages)

Hi ​@PeeyushBansal, I think setting the embedded field Q_Language to EN-GB should get the task done.

Do let know once you try!

Hi,

Setting Q_Language to EN-GB in the survey flow won’t do anything. Instead, force the value in an argument in your survey link in your invitation email with something like this:

${l://SurveyURL}&Q_Language=EN-GB

You could probably add custom javascript to your 1st question to select EN-GB on first load.

This should do the work, adjust the language you want to force at the beginning of the script.

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {

    const forcedLanguage = 'FR'; // Set the language you want to force (Qualtrics language code)

    // Legacy layout: <select> inside .LanguageSelectorContainer
    if (!sessionStorage.getItem('languageSelectSet')) {
      const selectContainer = document.querySelector('.LanguageSelectorContainer');
      if (selectContainer) {
        const select = selectContainer.querySelector('select');
        if (select) {
          const optionToSelect = Array.from(select.options).find(
            function(option) {
              return option.value === forcedLanguage;
            }
          );
          if (optionToSelect) {
            select.value = optionToSelect.value;
            select.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
            sessionStorage.setItem('languageSelectSet', 'true');
            return;
          }
        }
      }

      // New survey taking experience: dropdown with <li> items
      const combobox = document.getElementById('language-selector');
      const selectOption = document.querySelector('#menu-item-language-selector-' + forcedLanguage);
      var displaySpan = null;
      if (combobox) {
        displaySpan = combobox.querySelector('span.rich-text');
      }
      if (combobox && selectOption && displaySpan) {
        combobox.click();
        selectOption.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('mousedown', { bubbles: true }));
        selectOption.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('mouseup', { bubbles: true }));
        selectOption.click();
        sessionStorage.setItem('languageSelectSet', 'true');
      }
    }
  });
