Target Survey by Customer Language

Build surveys in different languages and display them to customers using their own browsing language

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Many Shopify stores serve areas with multiple native languages. If you'd like to display surveys in a variety of languages rather than one main language, Kno can target those surveys to a customer's browsing language using our Audience feature.

Requires Analyst Plan or above


Audience Configuration

Step 1: Create Audience

The first step is to configure the audiences. Go to the Audiences page in the Kno app and click '+ Create Audience':

Step 2: Name Audience

To start give your audience a name. In this case, let's use "French Language" as the Audience name:


Step 3: Select Audience Type + Conditions Audience
Choose 'Native Language Name' from the Audience Type dropdown menu. Once complete, set the condition of "Is" and your desired language for the Audience:

Survey Audience Targeting

Step 1: Select or create a survey

After you've created your desired language audiences, navigate to your Surveys page. If you have not already created the surveys and translated them into the desired language, choose 'Create New Survey' and create/translate the survey at this point.

Step 2: Navigate to Channels

Once the survey is ready, you'll need to target the survey to display to the audience that you've created. To do this, navigate to your "Channels" section in your survey builder.

If you're editing an existing survey, click here to open the survey builder:

Step 3: Set the Audience

Select the Audience that matches your survey's translation:

Note: When targeting only one language, it is best to have a default language survey in addition to the targeted language. In the example above for French, a default Audience could be Customer Language - Spanish and the Audience definition would be Customer Locale Does Not Contain fr. Then you would create a second survey in Spanish and set that audience to Customer Language - Spanish.
