Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • The mandatory fields XLSX file is used to store useful fields for field data collection.
  • This form is merged with a user provided form including the actual survey questions.
  • However we do not currently have translations for these questions, only an English version.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • We need to add translations for most common languages so that we can merge these with forms where users have included translations.
  • The list of all available language codes is ridiculously large: https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry
  • We should filter down the most useful (initially keep this simple, but then expand out later on):
    • French
    • Spanish
    • Italian
    • Swahili
    • Nepali
    • Hindi
    • Tamil
    • Bengali
    • Chinese simplified (mainland China)
    • Chinese traditional (other)
  • If translation fields are included in the user uploaded form, we should match and include the translated columns for the mandatory fields too.
