Alternate language button was created by YakimaHerald
Hi all - I am creating a survey that is in English with a Spanish language option. At the beginning of the survey, however, the "change the language" button is in English. How do I make this button on the English/primary version in Spanish so it's easy to find/navigate for Spanish speakers? Thank you!

If it is an open survey you may distribute one of the two links
 
either "spanish" or "english"

If you have a token table set the language of the participant accordingly

This seems to be an interesting feature : have a laguage changer in all survey language for label (and each language in "current/by language" in dropdown).

Else : i think you can do it on theme : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/3....nger_first_page.twig

you can add information in all language here.

In surveys we often see a full screen approach for the first page when it comes to choosing a language.

Welcome to XYZ survey. This is a multilingual survey. Please select your language.
Willkommen zur XYZ Umfrage. Dies ist eine mehrsprachige Umfrage. Bitte wählen Sie Ihre Sprache.
Bienvenue à l'enquête XYZ. Ceci est une enquête multilingue. Veuillez sélectionner votre langue.
Benvenuto al sondaggio XYZ. Questa inchiesta è disponibile in diverse lingue. Selezioni quella che preferisce.

Then a DropDownField with English as default selection.



A Radio-Button question for a selection of languages would be an alternative. But as Joffm suggested, a link could be uses on each of the sentences as a preselection too,

Yes, I almost always go with Jelo's approach. A multilingual intro page with large buttons to select the language. The "Next" button is initially hidden, then appears in the correct language when one is selected.

Cheers,
