Hi, I need to add two new languages (French and Spanish) into my Collect survey, and adding all new labels manually is cumbersome in Collect's Survey Designer. Is there an easier way of getting new label texts into my survey?

regards, Lauri

Accepted answer

Dear Lauri,
In Collect v4.0.12 there is a new feature, accessible from the top right gear button of the Survey Edit page, in the Survey Designer, it's called Import/Export labels from/to Excel/CSV file:
alt text

In the popup that appears, there are some instructions on how to prepare a file that you can use to import new labels into your survey, or to replace the existing ones:

alt text

You can also export the current labels in a Excel file and you can modify the exported file and import it back into Collect to import the new labels.

Please consider that in this way you can import only attributes' and entities' labels; tabs' labels won't be exported/imported!

Many thanks,

Markdown text. Shortcuts: Ctrl+B bold, Ctrl+I italic, Ctrl+K link, Ctrl+E code, Ctrl+Shift+V paste as plain text. Tab indents list items and code; press Escape, then Tab, to leave the text box.
