Translating text

You can translate the titles, questions, labels, and captions of a study object to the languages associated with the locales defined for a study:

• Through the Central Designer user interface. The type of text (for example, item question or caption) determines whether locale-specific text can be specified in:
  • The definition of the study object.
  • The layout of the study object.
  • Both locations.

  With the exception of captions, which are defined only in the layout and do not update the study object definition, the changes you make in either location update the other location.

• By exporting the text strings to a CSV file, translating them, and reimporting the file. The translated text strings are added to the study objects to which they belong. For more information, see Exporting and importing text for translation (in the User Guide).
