For the 5th EWCS, the questionnaire was translated into 32 languages and 25 language variants. Nine of the languages were used in more than one country.
The translations were done in accordance with current good practices in multilingual translation of international survey questionnaires. They were also validated by the correspondents from the European Working Conditions Observatory (EWCO) who are national experts familiar with the themes covered by the survey.
All the translated versions of the questionnaires are available for download.
