How Automatic Translations from Recollective Works

Automatic Translations provide real-time translated responses, translated data exports and study guide translation using the power of Recollective's AI.

Break the Language Barrier for Real Conversation

One study, one moderator, multiple languages—no handoffs, no silos—reducing translation costs, turnaround time and data quality risks compared to manual or external translation vendors. It’s a breakthrough for multilingual collaboration that transforms how global enterprise teams run research.

Only on Recollective can participants engage with each other in different languages—and still have a fully connected conversation. Thanks to automatic translations, every comment, response and follow-up is displayed in each participant’s and moderator’s preferred language, breaking through traditional multi-market barriers for fully inclusive conversations.

Simplified Study Languages

Automatically translate activities, task instructions, questions and study settings all while eliminating the need for third-party translation services, reducing costs and minimizing manual input errors.

Rapid Language Translation

Participant responses, comments, and follow-ups auto-translated into each viewer’s preferred language. View translations in-context alongside other responses to improve understanding. Two-way comment translation streamlines moderation and ensures consistency without relying on local translators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have AI active to use Automatic Translations?

+

No. Automatic Translations works independently and does not require Recollective AI to be enabled on your site. Analysts and moderators have access to translations by default, and admins can control which languages are visible to participants and which roles can export translated data.

Who can use Automatic Translation?

+

Analysts and Moderators have full access to translations by default, with no additional setup required. Clients can view translated responses by default, but they can only export translated data if they have that permission set. Participant-facing translations will be enabled by default when a study includes multiple participant languages.

Are there limits on which languages can be translated?

+

All 27 languages supported in Recollective’s UI can be auto-translated. See here for more details of language support in Recollective.

What content can Recollective automatically translate in a study?

+

Recollective can automatically translate activities, task instructions, questions, study settings, participant responses, comments, and follow-ups into any of the 27 supported UI languages. Researchers can also export all text-based responses—such as transcripts and discussion content—in a chosen language in bulk, eliminating the need for external translation workflows.

Do I need to do anything to trigger the translation?

+

Translations are processed automatically inside all newly created studies when the feature is enabled. Automatic translations are now enabled for all multilingual studies, requiring no manual configuration. Select your Study Languages and refine which languages are visible to participants. After that, just click the language icon beside any text area to switch into the language you wish to see.

How are translations configured and managed in new and existing studies?

+

For new multilingual studies, Automatic Translations is enabled by default once you select your Study Languages, and translations process automatically without manual configuration. For past studies, your Recollective support team can apply translations on request, and admins can refine language visibility and override specific translated text where needed.

Does Recollective use or keep Automatic Translated text to train their AI?

+

No, Recollective never keeps customer data and does not use your data to train our AI. All data, both in original language and translated language format, remains the property of the customer.

Is it safe to use AI-powered translations for sensitive research data?

+

Yes. Recollective never keeps customer data for its own use and does not use your data—original or translated—to train AI models without prior consent. Translations are processed under strict data privacy, confidentiality, and security requirements, aligning with enterprise expectations and regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA.

How does Automatic Translations support global, multi-language qualitative research?

+

Automatic Translations lets a single moderator run one study across multiple markets and languages without separate local builds or handoffs. Study content, comments, and follow-ups are displayed in each participant’s and moderator’s preferred language, so everyone can engage naturally while still contributing to one unified conversation.

We are THRILLED with the insights we obtained for our client (and impressed by the gargantuan job your team did to help make it happen, with so many languages in your impressive multi-lingual platform!)

The Recollective AI tools helped us summarise all the participant feedback into clear outcomes in no time at all! The time saved has enabled us to share findings with more stakeholders and have greater influence on the future of the project.

Our clients have said they will never go back to in-person patient advisory meetings after using Recollective. The amount of data and insights we are able to capture through the live meetings and the speed of analysis is unparalleled.

Erin Slattery
Partner

To me, the biggest chore of doing qualitative work is thematic coding and analysis. Using excerpting in Recollective while the study runs was an incredible revelation and time saver, allowing me to have the coding done as the study closes. But now, using the new AI functionality, not only is my time to insight even faster, but it’s also giving me the ability to understand my data in a deeper and wider context that I might have missed previously.

Tom Glover
Senior Qualitative Research Analyst

The minute I saw the AI release email I was on it – it’s SO GREAT! Testing it out thoroughly as we speak. Seems to be on point in that it 100% aligns with analysis we already did, and is speeding up our remaining analysis to an incredible extent. The quick flip between tabs for insights and quotes (sources) is brilliant too…. Honestly, you guys have nailed it!

Natasha Wallace

Recollective is the best solution for online communities and qualitative projects. The platform’s usage is very intuitive, and the new features for analyzing the results are helpful in gaining insights and addressing the project’s objectives faster and more efficiently.

We consider the Recollective platform best-in-class and our ultimate technology asset in delivering high impact insights at scale and with speed.

Jennifer Adams
SVP, Digital Hives & Online Communities,

Recollective is the best option when it comes to simplicity and all the segmentation functionalities. The other platforms lack this many segmentation options as you offer.

Héctor Torrealba
PM Team Leader,

We have used the Recollective platform to power The Cambridge Panel - our online research community of teachers from around the world - for over two years, and in that relatively short period they have become an invaluable partner.

Rob Hardy
Head of Insight,

Our programer understood our objectives and activity guide well, and used her expertise to ensure that our programming would be engaging to participants whilst best answering our research questions. We would love to work with the Recollective team again.

Katherine Mai

The team went above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable with using Recollective. They took time to walk us through each step and made us feel at ease to move forward. Kudos to you all!
