You can use multiple languages in your dictionary for labels and value sets. See "Multiple Language Dictionaries" in the help: http://www.csprousers.org/help/CSPro/mu ... aries.html

You can also use multiple languages in the question text if you are creating a CAPI application: http://www.csprousers.org/help/CSPro/de ... uages.html

In version 7.1 beta we have also added the ability to define message files in multiple languages: http://www.csprousers.org/help/CSPro/message_file.html

Once you have the languages defined in the dictionary you define your value set in the first language and then switch the language in the little dropdown at the top of the window and modify the value set labels to the labels you want for the second language. Once you add a language to the dictionary, CSPro stores separate versions of all the item and value set labels for each language. To view/edit the values for a particular language you just change the language. You can see some details here: http://teleyah.com/cspro/SouthAfricaOct2016/05-CAPI.pdf. Look on page 4.

Hi,

I use cspro v6.3 and I am also programming my questionnaire in multiple languages: English and French. I have followed the instructions for adding a language to the value sets and most of the time it works; however, sometimes when I change the value sets say from English into French (for the French version) this then also changes the value sets for the English version. This makes me waste large amounts of time... Would anyone know how to avoid this problem?

Many thanks,
Claudia

Thanks. Would anyone else know how to fix this problem with the value sets in different languages (see below)?
