Translating Your Survey with Locales
In Delighted, a “locale” corresponds with the translation or language you're using for your survey. You can update the locale directly within the platform or use Special Properties to dynamically translate the survey for each respondent.
If you need help creating a unique locale or custom translation, contact our Concierge team!

Updating the locale from within Delighted
You can easily update the survey language from within the “Customize appearance” page for each platform. To access:
- Click on “Survey people”
- Choose the gear icon to the right of your desired platform
- Click “Customize appearance”
- Open the header titled “Advanced customization”

Updating the locale dynamically
You can use our locale Special Property to update the locale and translate your survey on a per-survey basis. Information about how to pass this special property can be found in our article on Special Properties.
What will be translated when I change the locale?
Each platform can be set to any locale, translating the entire customer-facing experience (with the exception of any Additional Questions). Changes made to your survey language will also be reflected on your Thank you page.
Survey translation will not change the language of the Delighted user interface.
