Translations don't work with Loop & Merge
Hi all,
I noticed that translations don't work with Loop & Merge (the options do not show up to be translated). Is that indeed the case or am I overlooking something? Couldn't find anything on this specific topic in the Qualtrics documentation, nor on the forum/Google.
Thanks in advance!

I assume you are referring to translating the loop & merge fields. The same issue occurs with embedded data.
Here is a trick you can use. Create a MC question before your loop where the choices are the loop & merge fields, and translate it. Then hide it with display logic. Pipe the choice text from the MC question into your loop & merge setup (e.g., ${q://QID1/ChoiceDescription/1}, etc.). The fields will then be translated into the current language.

Because of my particular use case I had to replace embedded data with the translated version, using JavaScript, but this is a great solution for regular Loop & Merge situations, will remember it!
