Dear Forum Users!

I'm trying to create a survey in Polish, designed for a large audience.

When setting up a multiple choice question, LimeSurvey automatically adds a line under the text of my question saying the equivalent of "Choose from the options below". I would like to change the text of this embdedded line, because it's in informal Polish, and my survey needs to be more formal. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Best wishes and many thanks in advance.

You need to make changes to the translation. Please have a look at the documentation (see my signature) on how to translate Limesurvey. It is explained pretty well.

Maybe you also want contribute your translations to the community, so others can use them as well?
Have a look at the manual! It is a really valuable source for information. Here some helpful links:

Thanks Holch.

The problem is, the translation is not actually wrong, it's just in an informal style which may be appropriate for some surveys. Is not possible to change this embedded text in individual surveys, rather than translating that part of LimeSurvey in Polish as a whole?

You can only generally translate this part.
