Re: R: multilanguage questionaire

You can of course combine the branching survey thing with perl in the last 
page. Language of button can (I think, didn't test) be done the same way 
as in the perl example. For a long and complicated survey this is probably 
the easiest way to manage it.

<SURVEY {&
  if($session->getValue("SUBMITTED_lang") eq "en")
  {
    print "TITLE=\"The final page\" SUBMITTEXT=\"Send it in\" ";
  }
  else
  {
    print "TITLE=\"Les page du finale\" SUBMITTEXT=\"Committeur\" ";
  }
&} THEME="slate" >

..

</SURVEY>

Yes, my french still sucks. :-)
