Hi Platonides,
Yes, it should work by doing a replacement on a few string variables.
There are two questions that are a bit tricky:
- The one listing all the previous contests (this one would need to be updated after each
contest that has taken place - not a huge problem)
- The one asking when the pictures were mainly taken (here, the items need to be adapted
from year to year as well as specifically with regard to the date of the contest)
Another issue is that we didn't have full translations available for all needed
languages. So we would need to run another translation sprint for the missing languages.
If you are taking care of the technical stuff, I can review the questionnaire once you
have set it up with the changing variables, and I can try to establish a list of the
languages that still would need translation.
Cheers,
Beat

Dear Lodewijk, dear all,
I’ve updated the questionnaire:

I think it would be possible to adapt it in a way to make exactly the
same version fit both WLM and WLE (I could take care of this, if needed).
(...)
I’m happy to give support and advice where I am able
to do so; for the
rest, I will focus on the analysis of the 2013 survey data.
Cheers,

Hello Beat,
I just found this proposal while reviewing old unread mail, and seems very interesting.
This would basically simply need the variables {{contest}}, {{year}}, {{previous year}},
{{previous month}}, {{coordinating team}} and {{team signature}}, plus the country list
and run the same survey on any contest.
The cool thing is that we could perform a blind replacement on the translations we
currently have and it _should_ work.
This kind of usage assumes that on all languages the contest name will appear on the same
part of the phrase (which is probably the case) and won't be differences like WLM and
WLE having different genders.
Regards
PS: For the countries you added, we would need the languages:
Portuguese, Khmer, Kurdish?, Greek, Latvian, Macedonian, Malagasy?
