Issuing incentives in other languages

Issuing incentives in another language or currency? 🌐 There are two approaches, depending on whether you need one language or several.

One language or currency 🇫🇷

Set up a study for that single language and country. For example, to send 100 EUR to 20 participants in France, all in French:

  1. Create a study just for that language and country, named clearly like "Incentives France [FR]".
  2. Go to Incentives >> Payment Methods and set the country to France.
  3. Translate the incentive fields from Incentives.
  4. Turn translations on from Screeners >> Design (or Studies >> Setup).

Want to localize your incentive amounts?

Use a combination of the right incentive mode and calculation approach depending on how precisely you'd like to localize:


🌐 Mode = Global + Calculation approach = manual is the simplest way to convert a fixed  USD amount to any local currency in the world, which means the amounts in each country/currency might be a bit strange. Think of $50USD being converted to INR as something like ₹.4,788 INR

📘 Global vs single country mode


🪄 Try turning on Cost of Living or Mode = Specific countries if you want to make sure that every single localized amount is rounded and adjusted for each participant's country. Fun fact you can pay up to 20,000 recipients in one order with all different currencies and languages, mostly automated with our AI.

Multiple languages or currencies 🗣️

Use the translations feature to serve several languages in one order or study. Depending on your plan, Ethnio can translate and add languages that show automatically to each recipient. See our Translations guide: https://help.ethn.io/article/479-translations

Translate every field with the translations editor ✍️

The translations editor is the easiest way to catch every incentive field across pages and emails.

  1. Turn translations on from Study Plan > Translations or if you have a Compensation-Only study, it will be on by default
  2. Create your default language, or add multiple depending on your plan, then open the translations editor.
  3. In the top left, choose Incentive Pages & Methods or Incentive Emails.
  4. Edit the default or other languages right there, or import/export via Google Sheets, XLSX, or CSV.
