@tibor.pacalat: This feature seems to exist since LS 5.x. Can you discuss within the team how we can make sure we have some documentation for Limesurvey users on how to use this useful feature?

PR with comment : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/2213#issuecomment-1016675160

Negotiated on discord.

ping @ollehar and @tibor.pacala t:

I'm OK to create tge manual page AND/OR a micro core plugin with 4 inputs

• Original sentence
• Language dropdown
• Translated sentence
• Delete current checkbox

(The except via DB : no way to know current translation, can be added if you want in future)

I would love to see this as a core feature for Limesurvey since this is very helpful for some more special surveys. E.g. some customer want to adjust the registration screen to have "Access key" or "Code" instead of "Token" or add further details about the registration process.

Would it be possible to handle translation adjustments not only on global level but also have survey specific adjustments? E.g. globally I replace "Enter your token" with "Enter your code" but for survey A I can have "Enter the access key provided by your teacher"?

Would it be possible to handle translation adjustments not only on global level but also have survey specific adjustments? E.g. globally I replace "Enter your token" with "Enter your code" but for survey A I can have "Enter the access key provided by your teacher"?

It's not included in this feature. It's a new feature.

BUT : you can do it easily via SurveyTheme here (and add needed translation in DB)

I think we then need some details for "do it easily via SurveyTheme here (and add needed translation in DB)" at the manual as well because currently I have no idea how this should work.

1. In survey theme {{ gT("Enter the access key provided by your teacher") }}
2. In DB : source_message : id=1, message = Enter the access key provided by your teacher
3. in DB : message : id=1,language=fr, translation=Entrez le code d'accés donné par votre professeur.

(Manual page can explain this)

Waiting decision about

1. Manual page creation
2. Micro simple core plugin

Ok so decisions are:

1. Manual page should be created
2. There is no plan at the moment for a plugin

Thank you :)

I think we can add the link at https://manual.limesurvey.org/index.php?title=Not_categorized_and_advanced_features&action=edit and https://manual.limesurvey.org/LimeSurvey_Manual

Thank you !

@DenisChenu I added the links as you suggested and made small grammar corrections on that page as well.

Yes, it's my Thank you ;)

Do you know why we have «This page contains changes which are not marked for translation.» ?

No idea to be honest, maybe @c_schmitz knows more?

Text changes need top be approved before translation. It is done,. now-
