Touchpoints, the application, is currently translated into the following languages.
- English
- Spanish
- Mandarin
As an example, here is the "Kitchen Sink" form page viewed in 3 different languages:
- English - https://touchpoints.app.cloud.gov/touchpoints/34d93e4e/submit
- Spanish - https://touchpoints.app.cloud.gov/touchpoints/34d93e4e/submit?locale=es
- Mandarin - https://touchpoints.app.cloud.gov/touchpoints/34d93e4e/submit?locale=zh-CN
Survey question text is not translated automatically. It is recommended to copy the survey, once the questions are complete, and translate it into multiple languages.
The result is one form for English, and one form for each other language.
The ?locale= parameter is appended to the URL, in addition to sharing the correct form URL with the intended language-specific audience.
The goal is to show the translated form (with its unique URL), with the ?locale parameter appended.
Users who have browser/devices set to another language typically append the ?locale parameter automatically.
