Description
Identify a transnational survey question's supplied language version.
International records depend on source vintages, country classifications, population denominators, currency conventions and reporting periods. A code or textual crosswalk is a declared record relationship rather than proof of comparability. PPP-style factors, market exchange rates and physical-flow adjustments answer different questions.
Identify a transnational survey question's supplied language version.
When to use this tool
Use Transnational Survey Question Version Pair when checking the stated international record, basis, flow or allocation convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter surveyId, questionId, languageVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty survey ID, question ID and language-version text. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| surveyId | Survey Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| questionId | Question Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| languageVersion | Language Version | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"surveyId": "S17",
"questionId": "Q4",
"languageVersion": "en-v2"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"S17\",\"Q4\",\"en-v2\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Question comparability, translation quality and actual survey versions are not verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult original datasets, authoritative classifications and the intended statistical/currency methods before comparing international indicators or financial quantities.
