Primary Languages

This window lists the primary languages registered in Forsta Plus, in alphabetical order. An identity code and a character set are specified for each primary language.

Note: The character set used for the languages may influence how the survey is displayed to the respondents in their browsers. Browsers also use a character set, and if respondents have problems reading the survey, the reason may be that different character sets are being used in the survey and the browser.
