[Air-L] Best way to work with translation provider and Qualtrics?

[Marco Toledo Bastos]

Hi Cory,

You don't have to grant the translator access to your account (and you
shouldn't). If the tab "Collaboration" is available for your survey (My
Surveys >> Tasks), you can simply type the translator's email and she'll be
granted access to the survey. Qualtrics allow for this kind of collaboration
even if the invited user is not under the same license as you. More details
here:

rted/collaboration/

I've never tried this workaround by transferring CSV files back and forth
between you and another user, but I wonder how you're planning to merge the
two survey questionnaires later on. That looks like an exhausting task.

Subject: [Air-L] Best way to work with translation provider and
	Qualtrics?

I?m  preparing a cross-national survey using Qualtrics.com, and will deploy
the survey in two languages. My translation provider is not familiar with
the Qualtrics platform, and I?m leery of providing access to my account.
Does anyone have recommendations for how to best translate a survey without
having to provide account access to the translator?

It does appear that Qualtrics allows one to download the survey as a CSV
file, and then create a second survey upon importing a CSV file.  A possible
workflow:

  1.  Send the CSV file in the first language to the translator,
  2.  having translation completed on the sent file,
  3.  and then creating the second language survey by uploading the
translated CSV file to Quatrics.

Open and grateful for any suggestions!
