The Scenario
A global market research coordinator at a nonprofit is scoping a 12-language survey rollout — the largest multilingual research program the organization has ever run. She needs to know exactly which languages SurveyMonkey supports and what their internal codes are, so the translation agency can quote accurately and the dev team can wire up the right locale parameters. She needs this reference in Excel, shareable with both teams, by end of week.
The bad version:
- Search the SurveyMonkey help center, find a support article listing maybe 35 languages, uncertain if it is current.
- Search the SurveyMonkey API docs separately to find the language codes, which are in a different format and a different article entirely.
- Manually compile the two sources into Excel, not confident the list is complete because the docs page has a last-updated date from 14 months ago.
The translation agency needs the language codes Friday to scope the project. Compiling a reference list from documentation that may be stale is not a reliable starting point.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It connects to SurveyMonkey and fetches the live language list from the API — so the output reflects what SurveyMonkey actually supports today, not what the documentation said last year.
In Excel, fetch all SurveyMonkey available languages and write language name and code into the 'Languages' sheet, sorted alphabetically by language name.
What You Get
- One row per supported language with name in one column and language code in the adjacent column.
- Sorted alphabetically so it is easy to scan.
- Pulled live from SurveyMonkey's API — current as of the moment you run it.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want to cross-reference against what the translation agency already supports
Fetch all SurveyMonkey languages and write name and code to the 'Languages' worksheet. Then check each language code against the 'Agency Languages' worksheet column A and write YES or NO into a Vendor Supported column to show which languages the agency covers.
You only need a subset of languages for the target regions
Fetch all SurveyMonkey languages and write name and code to the 'All Languages' worksheet. Then filter to only these languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Turkish. Write the filtered list to the 'Target Languages' worksheet.
You want a planning table with translation status for the team to fill in
Fetch all SurveyMonkey languages, write name and code into columns A and B of the 'Languages' worksheet, then add a blank Translation Status column in C and a blank Assigned To column in D for the team to fill in.
You need the full language list, filtered target set, vendor coverage, and a launch-ready planning table — all in one pass
Fetch all SurveyMonkey languages and write name and code to the 'All Languages' worksheet. Filter to these 12 languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Turkish. Write them to 'Target Languages' with name in A, code in B. Check each against the 'Agency Languages' worksheet and write YES or NO into column C. Add a Translation Status column in D set to PENDING for all rows. Write the total target language count into cell F1.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open a blank Excel workbook, then ask it to pull the full SurveyMonkey language list with codes so your translation vendor and dev team are working from the same reference.
