You can control the survey language by configuring the language settings on employee records and survey schedules. For steps, see Set survey language.

Employee records |
You can set the language on employee records individually or in bulk. Example: You can select all employees whose Country attribute matches France, and set their language to French, in bulk. If you don't set a language manually, the survey detects the language for each employee. When an employee opens their first survey, the survey uses their browser language, or IP address location as a fallback. In future survey rounds, those employees receive communication in the detected language. If no language (manual or detected) is present on the employee record, there’s a fallback order for each individual employee.

Survey schedules |
You can select multiple survey languages or restrict your survey to just 1 language. A drop-down menu on the first survey page displays the languages that you enabled in the survey, mirroring the language order from your survey settings. If an employee selects a survey language from the drop-down, their selection overrides the language on their employee record (whether manual or detected). If you don't configure the schedule language, all supported languages are available in the language drop-down menu on the survey. |
