<label for="arrival-date">
    {language:ar}متى وصلت إلى ألمانيا؟{/language}
    {language:en}When did you arrive in Germany?{/language}
</label>

<option value="" disabled selected>
    {language:ar}شهر{/language}

</option>
<option value="01">January</option>
<option value="02">February</option>
<option value="03">March</option>
<option value="04">April</option>
<option value="05">May</option>

<option value="07">July</option>
<option value="08">August</option>

Could you help me please?

Answer 1

It seems you used HTML code to create that question.

Short answer: STOP. DON'T!

SoSci Survey will not store the answers, as it does not know about the questions, and has not prepares variables for them.

Instead, please follow this manual: Forms with Different Input Formats

Using SoSci Survey elements for the questionnaire will also allow you to work with translations for the options and questions.
