How to Configure Multi-Market Studies Using Automatic Translations (Individual Study Approach)

Use this article to setup Studies in multiple markets and languages using Automatic Translations.

Recollective supports 27 languages and all time zones, making it easy to run global research. You can manage multiple markets in a single study, or create one study per market to localize details like moderator, language, and time zone. To streamline setup, entire studies can be copied and automatically translated. This quickly duplicates key study elements for each market, leaving only the participant language to adjust while maintaining the overall structure.

  • Configuring Multi-Market Studies: Site Analysts

Step 1: Program the study for your primary market

  1. Go to your site Dashboard.

  2. Click Add Study.

  3. In the New Study modal, use the Study Languages menu to define your primary language (e.g., English). (Note: While you can choose to add additional Study Languages at this stage, it is not necessary to include all target languages right away. Automatic Translations will be enabled by default once more than one Study Language is added).

  4. Complete initial study creation by clicking Next.

  5. Program your required Activities, Discussions, and other study settings to complete setup for your first market.

Step 2: Copy the programmed study

  1. Go to your site Dashboard.

  2. Locate the study you wish to copy (i.e., your primary market study).

  3. Open the Study card dropdown menu and select Copy Study.

  4. Select which portions of the study you wish to copy (e.g., Home Pages, Activities, Clients and Moderators, etc.).

  5. Click Copy.

Step 3: Customize the Participant Language and time zone

  1. When prompted to configure your copied study’s settings, use the Study Languages menu to enable any additional Study Languages. (Note: If you do not see the desired language, it will need to first be enabled at the site level in Site Administration > Basic Settings > International Settings)

  2. Use the subsequent Participant Languages dropdown menu to select the appropriate Participant Language for your new market.

  3. (Optional) Customize the time zone for the new market.

  4. Complete study creation by clicking Next.

Expected outcome: Once the copying process is complete, Recollective will automatically translate all existing study content into the newly selected Study Language.
