Since you are using Ona, this might be an issue on their end.  
Please see [https://help.ona.io/](https://help.ona.io/) and [https://groups.google.com/g/ona-community](https://groups.google.com/g/ona-community) for help from the Ona support team.

Hi @Mosab_Daoud, there should be an option to change the language on the Overview page for the specific form. Just above the "Data Export" box there is a dropdown menu that probably says "EN" (English) on it -- see screenshot. Click there and a dropdown will show the languages included in your survey.

If that does not work, there is a workaround for Stata users involving appending the data into an English (or your preferred language) shell dataset, but hopefully that won't be necessary.
