Change language in Captch Question

Question

Hello, we would like to use the captacha question and did not have challenges with the languages for English and German so far. But it did not change to Chinese, simplified and traditional. Thus, we had to delete the related questions. Any option to add chinese to the captcha questions without using google as this willl block the questionnaire in China?
Thank you.

Answer 1

If you like, you can send us translations for the necessary words, and we can incorporate this into SoSci Survey.

There are the English texts - if you send us a copies with the right part replaced by simplified Chinese, and with the right part replaced by traditional Chinese (please retain the left part as it is), then we should be able to update that quickly.

    'number.0' => 'zero',
	'number.1' => 'one',
	'number.2' => 'two',
	'number.3' => 'three',
	'number.4' => 'four',
	'number.5' => 'five',
	'number.6' => 'six',
	'number.7' => 'seven',
	'number.8' => 'eight',
	'number.9' => 'nine',
	'number.10' => 'ten',
	'number.11' => 'eleven',
	'number.12' => 'twelve',
	'operation.is' => 'is',
	'operation.minus' => 'minus',
	'operation.plus' => 'plus',
	'operation.times' => 'multiplied by',

'number.0' => '0', 'number.1' => '1', 'number.2' => '2',
'number.3' => '3', 'number.4' => '4', 'number.5' => '5',
'number.6' => '6', 'number.7' => '7', 'number.8' => '8',
'number.9' => '9', 'number.10' => '10', 'number.11' => '11',
'number.12' => '12', 'operation.is' => '等于', 'operation.minus' =>
'减去', 'operation.plus' => '加上', 'operation.times' => '乘以'

We are wondering whether the numbers can be put in arabic? like the script here?

In addition we have two more challenges - the calendar function - does not appear in chinese, i.e. April, May etc.
Any idea whether this can be solved?

Simplified:

'number.0' => '0', 'number.1' => '1', 'number.2' => '2', 'number.3' => '3', 'number.4' => '4', 'number.5' => '5', 'number.6' => '6', 'number.7' => '7', 'number.8' => '8', 'number.9' => '9', 'number.10' => '10', 'number.11' => '11', 'number.12' => '12', 'operation.is' => '等于', 'operation.minus' =>

'减去', 'operation.plus' => '加上', 'operation.times' => '乘以'

 

Traditional:

'number.0' => '0', 'number.1' => '1', 'number.2' => '2', 'number.3' => '3', 'number.4' => '4', 'number.5' => '5', 'number.6' => '6', 'number.7' => '7', 'number.8' => '8', 'number.9' => '9', 'number.10' => '10', 'number.11' => '11', 'number.12' => '12', 'operation.is' => '等於', 'operation.minus' =>'減去', 'operation.plus' => '加上', 'operation.times' => '乘以'

now complete

sorry, this should be the last problem:
*E-mail CC in Chinese is : Mandarin:  抄送邮箱  Cantonese:  抄送郵箱

I cannot find an option to change this anywhere. It has been a tool provided by you and it seems that I cannot adopt this to the language.

> We are wondering whether the numbers can be put in arabic?

This will reduce the wrok to auto-detect the tasks and do them automatically. If you are concerned about bots, written text is slightly (not significantly) better.

Give it a try, please. The update is online by now.

I hope that "mandarin" correlated to "simplified"? Then the email CC should also be changed properly.

>  the calendar function - does not appear in chinese

We also added this. Could you give it a try and report whether the update was successful?

Great, translations are visible and have been approved from my colleague

The calendar functions are working. Thank you very much. The Captcha: we have not tested it yet, as the systems is a little slow in some countries. We are now wondering whether we can keep it deleted in some countries and leave it in a selected number of translations. Would this be possible?

> whether we can keep it deleted in some countries

Sure. Simply use a PHP filter with getLanguage()

if ((getLanguage() == 'zho') || (getLanguage() == 'chi')) {
  question('XY01');
}
