# Translate selector

To create the selector in different languages, you must translate the selector on two levels:

- Translate **product data**
- Translate **visible texts** (e.g. questionnaire, result page, etc.)

This article is about the **translation of the texts visible in the selector**. If you would like to learn how to translate and import product data, please refer to the related article in the chapter Products.

## Translate visible texts

You have two options for translating the selector: via CSV import or manually.

### **Translate selector via CSV import**
