Additional Languages
With Zoho Survey's additional languages, you can increase the reach of your surveys by translating them into more than 75 languages. This can be done in three ways:
- Google Translate
- Spreadsheet
- Editor
Use Cases:
Let's say you are running a successful business in England and want to know if your business can thrive in the French, German, and Spanish markets. You can send a market assessment survey in the applicable languages to make it easier for respondents to provide feedback. The survey's default language changes according to the user's browser language and provides options for adjusting the language further.
Let's say you are a lecturer at a well-established university. You must collect feedback from a linguistically diverse group of students. To do this, you can use the Additional Language feature. With the default language changing according to each student's browser language and providing multiple language choices, you can effectively gather numerous responses for a survey.
