- Can I do this with LimeSurvey?
- Category "Other" doesn't change for queXML-exports in translated versions
Category "Other" doesn't change for queXML-exports in translated versions
we have a questionnaire with four translations:
German is the default and was translated into Arabic, Dari, Turkish and Polish.
When I export the translated versions as queXML-Pdf, the category "Other" is not translated in the exported Pdf. It is still in German, although it is translated correctly in the Online version. What can I do?
Thank you in advance,
Linda

I could reproduce, if you do enter some individual wording in "Others".
Seems to be a bug.
If you leave empty
it is displayed correctly:

Only because of my curiosity:
Which scanner and software do you use to read the completed questionnaires?
Do you use queXF? Or something else?
There are always a few studies here that still are made paper-pencil; and then it's tedious and time consuming to type the data manually.

It cannot be uploaded because of its size.
How can I set up a bug file?

Your issue seems related to other attribute then
- Create a multinlingual survey (you 4 language seems great)
- Add a single choice and add manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Li...ther_replace_text.29 on each language (adding language at start : more easy)
- Add a multiple choice and add manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Mu...ther_replace_text.29 too
- Activate survey and laucng it 2/3 times
- Send the lsa produced on mantis

Any idea what happened and how to solve it?

How can I set up a bug file?
Open the bug tracker (also in "Community" menu, login with your LS account,
fill in the details.
And something general:
As I saw in the survey, it is an online survey.
So what do you want the quexml-pdf for?
This is thought to generate a paper-pencil questionnaire that you can scan and read by an OCR software.
Why not just export as *.html and oprn in "Open/LibreOffice" or "Word"?
Here you can improve the layout to get a real good looking questionnaire.
@ holch,
I also got a timeout error.
So I removed two languages from the lss file by a macro in textpad:
1. search the line "<language><![CDATA[XX]]></language>"
2. search the line "<row>" backward.
3. "Start selection"
4. 2. search the line "</row>" forward.
5. "End selection"
6. "Remove selection"
(Only for retired people, who do not know what else to do the whole day long)
Then I could import the survey.
And the funny thing:
The bug seems to be gone:
Polish
German

Good to know. So the survey is basically too big for my installation. Was wondering what settings this could cause.

yeah, I wouldn't be able to spend too much time on this.

The LSS is to big for many (if not all) installations. The import screen statesholch schrieb: Good to know. So the survey is basically too big for my installation. Was wondering what settings this could cause.
Not sure if the 2 MB limit isn't hard-coded (or derived from PHP.ini).Select survey structure file (*.lss, *.txt) or survey archive (*.lsa) (maximum file size: 2.00 MB)
The LSS here is big cause it uses a lot of characters in different languages (e.g. one arabic character results in two bytes when stored in UTF8).
I wonder, if the threadstarter can import the own surveyfile. If not, "Goodbye... Charlie".

If we just take question D9. In your export, you don't see the arabic other on the page, correct?
I got this for D9, which seems correct:

So which setting needs to be changed that you can upload more than this? In my installation the value is actually 25 MB, so this can't be the problem.
