R: multilanguage questionaire

I've made with success a multi language questionnaire using the
mechanism of including files.
I think you could separate the survey structure from the survey language
content (of course, question types must be the same)

This is what I've used:

<CUSTOM ESCAPED=3D"no">
<!--
{\
$session->setValue ("QuestionCode" , "QuestionCaption" );
...
...

\}

-->
</CUSTOM>
Above custom tag contains the whole questions and answers captions for a
language. So I named this file "english.stpl".
Each question is now a session variable.

And this is a piece of a question I put in a page:
{@english.stpl@}
<CHOICE MUSTANSWER=3D"yes" NAME=3D"question" CAPTION=3D"{_QuestionCode_}"=
>
<CHOICEELEMENT CAPTION=3D"{_QuestionCode1_}" VALUE=3D"1" />
<CHOICEELEMENT CAPTION=3D"{_QuestionCode2_}" VALUE=3D"2" />
<CHOICEELEMENT CAPTION=3D"{_QuestionCode3_}" VALUE=3D"3" />
<CHOICEELEMENT CAPTION=3D"{_QuestionCode4_}" VALUE=3D"4" />
</CHOICE>
<ROUTE CONTINUE=3D"next.survey" />

I've putted the include file instruction only in the first page
displayed .

Note that there is (I've found it) a little problem with SPSS export: if
you want to export labels, now the label name is  {_questionCode_}, so
you have to prepare labels in another way.

Hope this is useful for you,

Hello,

has somebody build a multi-language questionnaire with mod_survey? We've

got the same questions in english and french, but you can't say on the=20
last page store this data all in one file. You have allways=20
survey-en.survey or survey-fr.survey. So the data retrieval needs two=20
different pages, is this right?
