ODK language variables

Support

Hello guys!!!!!

I have a simple yet complex question to ask you all. Let there are 3 languages-:
1.Spanish (label::español)
2.French (label::le français)
3.English (label) which is default.

If I select Spanish language from the menu, is there any way to know in where and which variable my language selection gets stored?

regards
Shadaab Khan

It isn't stored in the filled-in form. The last language used (and the one
that will therefore be used when you next open that form) is stored in the
forms database (accessible via the FormsProvider) -- but those details are
only relevant to software developers.

P.S., the new ODK 2.0 tools will store the locale in the filled-in form, so
it is available in later processing.

Hii Mitch Sundt,
Many many thanks for your reply. Let I have 3 languages-:
1.Language 'A'
2.Language 'B'
3.Language 'C'

and I have 3 regions-:
1.Region A
2.Region B
3.Region C

How can I filtrate regions with the language selected? I mean if I choose Language 'A' then only Region 'A' will show in the form or if I choose Language 'B' then only region 'B' will show in the form.

Regards
Shadaab

You may use the new style cascading-select filters to do this. Search the
message archives for examples.

And you would have to have a question in your survey asking what language
the user is using. The selection is not available in ODK Collect.

Is this still the case that one must include a language question and there currently isn't any way to detect/use the display language as a variable?

Thanks

Hi @Tyler_Depke

Nothing has changed in this area. If you change the language in a form, there is no way to track it or manage form logic based on the selected language. The only solution is to use an additional question that allows you to select the language.

Could you share your use case and let us know what you aim to achieve?
