Hi Everyone,

I have quite big and urgent problem. As we are going to conduct some CAWI projects for Polish, French and Turkish respondents, I have to find how to display special language signs in each case. The problem is, that it would be conducted on English version on Windows mainly, without chance to change anything in its settings. Could I place in .exp files some content, for example some codes of signs needed?

Is there any way to present correct content independently from version of OS, and region configuration?

 

Best regards,

Michal.

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't possible currently. See these threads for more information:

As a workaround however, you could display picture stimuli (displaying text in whatever language / character set you whish) instead of text items.
