Dear All,

For countries to be able to localize / customize the questionnaire it is very important to know which questions can be modified.

It would therefore be very useful to release the list of questions used by the various algorithms for managers to know what cannot be modified. In addition to the questions needed by the algorithm it may be useful to have a column of “highly recommended” questions which countries should also not modify.

Kind regards,

Martin

You might consider putting the strings that need to be localized in Transifex to help with the translation process. You can have trusted parties review and approve the strings for use.

@lognaturel : in this case localization means adding or drop questions or modify according to local needs, not really translation. Anyway, I proposed Transifex for translations, but this has not been accepted from WHO. They rely on professional translators.
