Unfortunately this Japanese translation looks very bad, containing grammatical errors and unusual expressions that require time for Japanese speakers to understand. If you are going to use as it is, I would guess that this would hurt participation to the survey, as well as the quality of the answers.
If there is any raw material of this translation available, I would like to help improving it. Best, Yusuke Matsubara On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 12:42 PM, Ayush Khanna akhanna@wikimedia.org wrote:

Hi all,
We have finished programming the Second 2011 Editor Survey in 15 languages, with the Japanese programming still in-progress. Once again, thanks for your help with all the translations.
Re: Japanese, there was an internal mix-up, due to which a Japanese translation request was not setup on the Meta hub. To meet our deadline to launch the survey this Thursday, we had to hire a professional translator at the last minute. We will be sharing the translation on this thread as soon as it is ready, and would like the Japanese community to provide feedback on the translated survey.
Please help us test the translations:

We plan to take the survey live on all language Wikipedias tomorrow, with the exception of the English Wikipedia, which will launch on Monday. This is in order to accomodate a Harvard research study that will go live in the next day.
Please let us know if everything looks fine.
Side-note: [1]The Chinese (Traditional) banner for the survey needs a minor update, should only take a few seconds - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Editors_Survey_November_20...
Thanks a lot for your help. In case there are any questions/concerns, please contact me.
