English: Translate Questions and Questions Sets

How to create questions in multiple languages.

Inspera Assessment supports multiple language versions of each question and question set. In this way, you can easily create and present questions and question sets in the correct language for each candidate.

It is of great importance that the "original" language is 100 % finished before it is translated. It is not possible to add new interactions after the translation has been done.

How-To-Guide for translating question sets

In question set edit mode, the language settings for the question are placed in the top centre. When the original language version of the question set is ready, click on the settings wheel to edit the language settings:

Select the languages the question set should be available in:

"Not translated" is displayed until the question is edited. The system does not recognize whether a question is actually translated correctly, so ensure to QA the translations.

Click on the question you want to translate. In the edit mode, translate the question text, prompt and the alternatives if applicable.

Remember, only the text is to be changed. The marks, main illustration etc. remains the same for all language versions.

When the question is translated, click "Save" and navigate to the next question to be translated.
