Switching automatically across two language survey was created by jma6610
I have a two language survey that's intended to be administered in two different countries. I'm hoping to be able to ask an initial question about the current country of residence and then switch the survey version based upon the answer instead of using the language switcher question type in Lime version 2.59. I've used javascript like that below to switch to a completely different survey, but unsure how this can be done in the easiest way. Would I have to create a second initial survey, find the correct country and then direct participants to the multilanguage second survey?

<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href = "https://XXXXXXXXprodls200/index.php/657484?lang=en2";
</script>

Why not use the language switcher question type? You could use JavaScript to change the labels in that question.

Place something like this in the source of the language switcher question:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
    // Define variables
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
    var countries = {
      'en': 'Canada',
      'de': 'Deutschland'
    };
 
    // Loop through the dropdown options
    $('.answer-item select option', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
      var thisLang = $(this).attr('value');
 
      // Modify the label
      if(countries[thisLang] !== undefined &amp;&amp; countries[thisLang] !== null) {
        $(this).text(countries[thisLang]);
      }
    });
  });
</script>
