Kinesis Survey Technologies Rolls Out Multi-Mode, Multi-lingual Survey Capabilities For immediate release. Austin, TX. Kinesis Survey Technologies announces that its advanced survey solution now provides full support for multi-mode (web/wireless) multilingual projects, including those requiring use of multi-byte UTF-8 characters to present all common languages world wide including Arabic, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and Japanese characters.
Translations utilize an XML document format which is compatible with SDLX and similar translation software commonly used by translators. By maintaining an XML document format, the translation software utilizes translation memory and fully automates translations of similar sentences and phrases, therefore reducing the cost and time needed to translating similar surveys. An XML document format contains all question texts, button labels, system error messages, and other customizable text. The translation document also contains localizable data such as date format and currency. In this manner, translations can be done completely independently from the programmed survey logic and without the need to understand the survey flow. These updates, when combined with a sophisticated invitation manager and real-time, custom reporting tools, comprise a robust and comprehensive solution for the most complex of web surveys while supporting next-generation mobile research applications.
