Hi Everyone
I am from Nepal working in various communal issues and making data for the decision making. When the data are uploaded in the ODK central and downloaded the submitted data, there is only one option of CSV and English Language. Can we download the data in Excel format and other languages as the form has been used in multilingual format

When data is submitted to ODK Central, it is by default downloaded as a CSV file. However, you can easily convert the CSV into Excel format by opening it in Excel and saving it as an .xlsx file.
As for multilingual forms, while ODK allows for forms in multiple languages, the downloaded data will appear in the language in which the respondent filled out the form. If the respondent/interviewer uses Nepali, then the data will be in Nepali, not otherwise.
ODK Central doesn’t directly export the data in multiple languages, you can manage translations by yourself.
