# Language selection of survey for collect mobile

Asked by Andras on 2018-06-18

Hi,

Does the language selection while exporting a survey form for Collect Mobile make any difference since the language selection option was added to CM? It seems that labels and error messages can be displayed in all available languages of the form regardless which language I've chosen during export.

Sorry, I haven't been paying attention. So for those who made the same mistake: Collect is asking for the *Default Language*, which means besides the default all available languages will be exported as well.

Hi Andras,  
The latest changes in Collect Mobile made a bit useless the selection of the default language during survey export.  
By the way, all available languages will be exported too, so you can always select your preferred one from the settings.  
Many thanks,
