change response language

[liwenna]

ahh... so I was overlooking something ^.^

I suppose you have read this thread: http://www.pstnet.com/forum/Topic1578-8-1.aspx#bm2146
Which doesn't really help out in the end either.

We had someone asking t about the use of hebrew in e-prime not too
long ago (search function should bring you to this threads) but I
think that in the end the conclusion was that it is not possible to
use a non-english font for the echo-function (i.e. where subject type
in their responses).

This is the reply that Yoed (the person asking about hebrew fonts) got
from PST:

***********
Are you using E-Prime v1.x or E-Prime 2.0? While E-Prime 2.0 is
supported by
the English/Western European versions of Windows XP and Vista, this
really
only applies to text that is displayed by the objects. That is, while
the
"Text" property of a TextDisplay will accept foreign characters, the
other
properties (including .Input and its related echo properties) will
not. All
non-English characters or accents will go unrecognized by E-Prime in
the
responses and in the text that is echoed to the screen.

E-Prime 2.0 has resolved this to some degree by allowing non-English
fonts
to appear as responses in the data file (i.e., UNICODE fonts are
permitted).
However, the echo client will still only display English and the
responses
themselves will still be based on the QWERTY keyboard. You could get
around
this by manually echoing the subject's responses to the screen. For
example,
you could take the subject's input and then convert it to Hebrew in
script,
and then display this on screen (e.g., if the semicolon key is
pressed,
convert this to a specific character and display it on screen, etc).
However, this can be fairly script intensive and would require that
the
Hebrew characters appear correctly in TextDisplay objects and/or
Slide
objects and appear correctly in InLine objects. If you are interested,
I
would recommend taking a look at SAMPLE:Process Responses
Template<http://www.pstnet.com/e-prime/support/samples.asp?
Mode=View&SampleID=47>for
an example of how to change what is displayed on screen based on the
subject's responses.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Your task is a translation task... does it require randomization or
any special stuff regarding timing? Otherwise you might consider
using, for instance, surveymonkey. Web based, designed for creating
and filling out of surveys, it does allow text boxes where subjects
type in their answer and, most importantly, it supports multiple
languages (at least accordign to their FAQ).

Best,

AW
