Export translation texts
The Translation functionality of EDC is designed to support multilingual studies that require data collection and review in different languages based on locations, participating audience, and other factors.
The complete list of translation texts—CRF data, query and comment texts, and so on—available in EDC can be extracted as a ZIP archive to your computer for offline review, sharing with stakeholders or translation vendors, or other business purposes.
