Add a Multilingual Question

Gainsight offers the option to add questions in different languages. First, Admins must configure a new language in Administration > Survey tab. You can find more information regarding this in the article Assign Survey Permissions. When you click +Q, you will have the option to choose from eight different types of questions as described below. We recommend you plan your questions, possible answers, and flow, before adding them in the Survey module. Once you select a question type, you can't change it.

To configure multilingual questions:

  1. Add the preferred languages in Survey > Properties > Survey languages while creating a new Survey.
