Supplemental Questions: Layout And User Experience

...

Both <Label> and <HoverHelp> are used only as child elements of the response elements. The <Label> element can be thought of as the question being asked for a response element, while the <HoverHelp> element can be used to provide further explanatory text when the applicant clicks the Help icon next to the related input field. Multiple <HoverHelp> children are allowed, one for each language your student application supports. The optional <Translations> element allows you to specify English or Spanish language (internationalize) for your questions. You must include at least two <Locale> elements, one with a <lang> attribute of "es" and one without, as well as a message block.

However, users have the ability to change the onscreen language from English to Spanish at any time by clicking the Cambiar A Espanol button, which appears in the header of each application page.

• Add <Message> element blocks for each code into both of the <Locale> elements.

  • Each <Message> element must have a <code> and <message> attribute with values.
