Creating Assessments in Another Language

Using Brilliant Assessments you can create assessments and obtain responses in any number of languages. Follow the steps below if you are creating a new assessment. 

Or, if you are Uploading an existing assessment in a different language, there are instructions at the bottom of this help article that takes you through the required steps:  Creating a Spreadsheet For Upload

To set this up for the first time at your site you need to:

1.  Add the languages that you wish to use  - read more about languages.  
2. Translate the buttons and labels on the response screen to those languages using the translations table
3. If you use the available assessments list screen, also translate the buttons and labels on that screen to those languages using the translations table.
4. Ensure you go back into the assessment/s you want the new language reflected in, and in the assessment settings, specify the new language and save.

For each Assessment:

1. We recommend you copy an existing assessment (if one exists) to retain the structure of the assessment, scoring, etc.
2. Update the Assessment Name in the Assessment Settings, under the General tab and specify the language of an assessment.
3. Under the same tab, if you use external ids to launch responses you must give the assessment a unique ID - for example, append the language code at the end of the External ID.  Note that the External ID can not include spaces or special characters other than - or _.
4. Using the Assessment Builder translate each element of the assessment:
   • Section names,
   • Subsection Rating Text (subsection names are optional because they don't appear on the response screen)
   • Question Text, and Instructions on Questions. Normally Question Short Name will be left in the original language.
   • Answer Text and Report Text on Answers. Normally the Answer Short Name will be left in the original language.
5. For the page at the completion of the response, you can specify the language of  Site Text and translate that page
6. Translate the response related emails for the assessment
7. Translate the Feedback Report in word and then upload it to the assessment using the Assessment  Reports form.
