Download Survey Translation
The Download translation function allows you to edit the Qualtrics Auto-Translate text generated by Google Translate. The Upload Translation function allows you to import the edited translation into Qualtrics.

The Qualtrics Auto-Translate feature is completed by Google Translate. The text of your survey questions is sent to to Google Translate and will be returned in the language you select.

If you’d like to edit the translation, you can do so by downloading the translation and emailing it to the translator.

1. To download a file for translating, click the download icon directly above the translation
   area to get a .csv (Excel) or .xml (text editor) file.
2. In the Download translation pop-up, choose the format you’d like to download in. Either a text editor or Excel will work.

• XML: Schemaless, well-formed XML document. Useful with XML editors and other technical applications. The document must remain well-formed or you will not be able to upload your translations.
• Unicode Text (Excel): Tab-delimited Unicode (UTF-16LE) text document. This is the best format to use with Excel.
  To Open this Translation Export in Excel
  1. Open Excel.
  2. Select File > Open.
  3. Change file format to All Files.
  4. Find the downloaded .txt document on computer.
  5. Select Import.
  6. Add translations.
  7. Save and close the document. Many versions of Excel will not allow you to upload the file until you close it.
  8. Upload the translated text as described under “Upload Survey Translation.”
