We want people to answer in a language they are comfortable with. Adding a language to the menu is only the first step: the buttons, questions, answer labels and explanations all need attention.

These counts come from the website’s source files, not visitor statistics. Simplified and Traditional Chinese are counted as separate options here, and having a language option in the menu does not mean every page has been translated.
The existing English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean question text is unchanged. Each of the 39 added versions contains 32 titles and both answer poles—3,744 new text fields, bringing the question bank to 4,224. Five-point answer labels are also available across all 44 options.
“Filled” counts non-empty entries against the English interface dictionary, including entries that still contain English. It does not measure the whole website: page-specific dictionaries, Press articles, type descriptions, mobile and MCP content are outside this interface count.
“Same as English” flags exact matches for checking after an allowlist for names, URLs and references. Some matches are legitimate, while different wording can still be wrong. “Complete text” requires the title and both answer poles for all 32 questions. None of these counts establishes translation quality or assessment validity.

What counts cannot tell us
“Sometimes” and “always” are not interchangeable. A sentence can read smoothly while shifting the strength of a statement, so the two ends of a question, negation and the wording of answer options each need to be checked.
The 39 new translations were drafted with AI assistance, and their provenance and language-by-language review priorities are recorded in the public core repository. All 44 questionnaire versions still lack documented human review and language-specific validation. Having every field filled does not establish that a translation is accurate, or that results are comparable across languages.
Work already under way
Questions and answer labels now use the selected language across all 44 options, rather than substituting English questions. This does not mean every interface entry, type description or explanatory page has been translated.
Automated checks compare the declared question languages with every question in the bank. Dictionary reports also identify missing entries, missing placeholders and wording identical to English. These catch specific problems, not every mistranslation.
Browser checks cover question rendering in all 44 options and longer text on narrow screens. Arabic and Hebrew questions read right to left; the answer buttons retain their left-to-right 1–5 order and scoring direction. We also checked keyboard answers. These checks verify display and input, not whether a reader understands a sentence as intended.
A better way to contribute
The aim is to reach readers in every language we can, while improving the translations already available. We plan to make contributing easier, with smaller tasks and a visible review trail. The process below is a proposal, not a translation platform that has already launched; there is no published rollout date yet.
-
Small, contextual tasks
Offer a short passage or a few related strings, with the source, where they appear and any length constraints. Helping should not require taking responsibility for an entire language.
-
Explain the proposed wording
Keep the original, current translation, suggestion and reason together. Maintain shared terminology, and record disagreements rather than silently replacing one choice with another.
-
A separate review step
Ask another reader fluent in the language to review the change. Questionnaire edits need additional checks on meaning, answer poles and scoring direction, with version changes recorded where appropriate.
-
Visible status and credit
Distinguish drafts, work awaiting review and reviewed wording. Record who checked what and when; credit contributors with their agreement. Wording review and language-specific validation must remain separate.
If you would like to help
For now, send a suggestion through the public GitHub issue tracker. Include the language, public page address, original wording, proposed wording and a short explanation. For a question, its number is enough; no answer history is needed.
GitHub issues are public. Do not include private result links, answers or personal information.
Suggest a translation changeThanks to everyone who points out an unclear sentence or offers a better translation. Those specific suggestions give us something we can check and improve.
