Translate survey

The translate screen can be accessed as a translator or as an Opinio user. If accessed by a translator, the navigation links and menu are not visible. The screen lists all visible text in the survey. Fill out the fields and click save and the texts will appear in the translated survey. Fields that are left empty are displayed in the translated survey as an <@empty@> tag.

When translating, it is important to note:

The translation page can be saved at any time.
All text to be translated is marked in green, and are quoted.
Copy Html tags from the original text to the translation fields to achieve the same look.
Copy essay-fields tags from the original question text to the translated question text to make the fields appear in the translated survey.
Survey attributes and questions will have the status "needs update" as long as they are not translated.
Once all texts in the survey has been translated, the "up to date" flag will be set for the current language being translated.

The first part lists all the survey attributes that contains visible text. This includes heading, title, buttons, messages etc. After the survey attributes heading, it is indicated whether or not all attributes are up to date. All attributes must be translated before survey attributes are set to up to date. If they are changed after translation, the flag is again set to needs update.

Each section is listed with all its questions. Each section and each question has an up to date-flag associated with it. The section flag is unrelated to the question flags and refers to texts that are linked with the section itself and not a particular question, such as section title and section texts (listed before and after questions). The question area lists visible text within a question, such as the question text, answer labels and validators.

It is important to remember that if the translate-screen is saved with text present in all fields, the flag is set to up to date, even if it is currently showing needs update, and no text in the translation is modified. Also notice that the texts in parenthesis are labels to make translation easier (indicating what the texts represent), and should not be translated.
