Emily, what's your take on this exchange?

I recall that many people (me included) went for "user friendlyness" by pushing to localize the questionnaire, but here, it seems to be backfiring at us.

I personally think that it is OK to give a localized questionnaire and let volunteers who can speak the language help non-English speakers, but at the same time, it may be a good idea to hint that filling in the answers in English would give a better chance for their problems to be looked at (in a localized message).
