Before we launch the survey, we would like to test the non-English surveys.
Some comments:
1. Nationality (citizenship) and country of residence should be dropdowns. "Other" can be provided for people who want to enter countries that aren't listed for whatever reasons (unrecognized etc.).
2. I found at least two Hebrew words which are incorrect in context and which don't appear at all in the translation on Meta. They probably come from the LimeSurvey localization.
3. Currency should be a dropdown - not everybody knows their currency code.
4. The "Session has expired" message is very frustrating. It's quite possible that a user will walk away for a few minutes to get a coffee and will find out that all his answers were discarded because his session has expired. Is it possible to disable it or to make it a much longer?

I am hoping that some of you would be willing to test the survey in your native language. I want to test the survey for language and timing. It will be akin to taking the survey like a respondent, but responses from the test will not be saved. We are only looking for your feedback to make the survey better. You can click on the following link to test the survey:

I am hoping to test the survey on two important criteria:
- Timing: Please take the survey without any interruptions, and give us an
estimate of how long it took to complete the survey. In English, it takes about 20 minutes to complete the survey. 2. Language: Are the questions easy to understand? I would like to make sure that the questions are valid in the local cultural context. Is the translation (survey and interface) broken in any way?
We will close the test on April 13, Wednesday at 12.00 PM (PST). Please send your feedback to me at mpande@wikimedia.org till Wednesday.
Thanks in advance Mani
