Can referees change the language of the questionnaire?

Here's an overview of how referees can switch the language of the questionnaire themselves.

When a candidate submits their referees, they choose which language each referee receives the questionnaire in. Sometimes the candidate forgets to change the language, and the referee receives the questionnaire in the wrong language.

The referee can now switch to another language directly on the questionnaire page.

1. The referee opens the questionnaire

If the project has questionnaires in at least two languages, a language picker is shown in the top-right corner of the page. On a phone, it's shown as a small flag and a language code, for example "SV".

2. The referee chooses another language

The questionnaire switches to the selected language.

3. The new language is saved on the referee

Reminders to the referee and the reference report also use the new language.
