Translating Survey Buttons

Illume 6.1 supports two templates, Default and Responsive, and each template handles buttons in a different manner. When using the Responsive template, the buttons are dynamically generated.  Different text can be provided per language for appropriate button display.  When in Survey – Preferences – Buttons, select the appropriate language from the language drop-down, and enter the desired button text in the Button Text field as shown below:

When using the Default Template, survey buttons are bitmap images, thus to have buttons appear in a different language, new buttons must be created and imported as Resources.  There are many free button-creator websites available for creating your alternate-language buttons.

Below are the ‘Next’, ‘Previous’, and ‘Submit’ buttons for a Spanish survey, which will be used as examples for the remainder of this section. Follow the steps below to include them in your survey.
