Research:Wikipedia Editor Survey 2012/Questions/bg

Questionnaire of the Wikipedia Editor Survey 2012

Hereafter is the text of the questions and answer options for the 2012 Wikipedia (and Commons) Editor Survey. The questionnaire has been finalized, the provided translations have been reviewed and the survey has launched, but feedback is still welcome on the talk page, and corrections made to the translations here on Meta can still be imported into the live survey. Numbers in brackets refer to the December 2011 questionnaire (see differences).

NOTICE ABOUT TRANSLATIONS

Because a main purpose of this survey is to track changes from last year, a large part of the questionnaire consists of repetitions from the last editor survey, so translations from back then are being reused. Translations for the new part (mostly, this is the entirely new section V) were prepared off-wiki in German, Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Portuguese, Polish and Arabic, and on-wiki in Hebrew, for review by the community (solicited by translation notifications). Entirely new translations were provided for Swedish and Ukrainian. The import script generates the traditional Chinese version (zh-hant) from the simplified Chinese one (zh) on the fly using automatic version; therefore there is no separate on-wiki version for zh-hant and corrections to the zh version should be automatically reflected in the zh-hant version as well.

Note that translations could only be used for languages which are also supported in the interface of Qualtrics, the survey platform we are using. Qualtrics currently supports:

Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Bosnian, Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, English - UK, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Mongolian, Myanmar, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, Welsh.
