If you have more than one language selected, the Manage translations link appears towards the right end of the Languages area header bar. This functionality allows you to perform survey text translation using Excel. Information on this can be found in the article, Manage Survey Messages. The full list of languages supported by Survey Designer is shown in Appendix B - Language Codes.

You can set up URL links for each selected language, to web pages to which the respondent will be sent on completing the survey and to provide additional information.

• Title - the name of the survey will appear in the respondent's browser window. If a title is provided for the selected language, this will be displayed instead of the survey name.
• End link - enter the URL of the website you wish the respondents to be sent to after they have finished the survey. You can add one URL for each survey language, so you can send the respondents to, for example, websites in their local languages or the website of your company's branch office in their country.
• Help link - enter a URL to a website you wish to use either for additional information or for other purposes in the questionnaire. If a respondent clicks on a link in a survey, a new browser window will open. Again, you can add one URL for each survey language.
• Help text - this field controls the appearance of the Help link. You may substitute the address with another text.
