Hot Spot - Translating Regions Names
Hello - first post here :)
I am using the Hot Spot question in a bilingual survey (EN/FR). Once a respondent has selected regions, I'm asking for her confirmation by displaying the region names.
How can I translate the region names to FR?
I reached out to Qualtrics support, and they suggested creating as many embedded variables as I have regions, but I'm wondering if you have ever tried another solution?
Thanks for your help!

@DaisyD,
Personally, I would create a MC question before the Hotspot question where the choices are the regions, and translate it. Then hide it with display logic. Pipe the choice text from the MC question into your Hotspot question as the region names (e.g., ${q://QID1/ChoiceDescription/1}). Then when you pipe the region names from the Hotspot question they will be in whatever language the respondent is using.

Thank you both so much! I really appreciate your help!
