The survey speaks each language

Every employee reads, answers and is heard in their own language,
and your HR team controls every word.

Translate in seconds, stay in control

CultureMonkey Translation Engine drafts every question and survey metadata in 150+ languages in seconds, while allowing your HR or regional team to review and make edits, including the answer options and right-to-left scripts like Arabic, so you sign off on the exact wording before launching your survey.

Flexibility & Customization

Multilingual support is baked into all parts of the survey that touch your frontline teams. Survey titles, instructions, answer options, email invitations and reminders all localize, so the survey reads natively from the first screen to the last.

Launch across your markets without a translation vendor in the loop, and own the nuance in each part of the process.

Employees pick their own language

Assign a language per segment, automatically inferred from your HR data. Or, let each employee choose their own on the survey screen. People answer in the language they think in, which is how you hear honestly from regional and frontline teams.

Set Arabic for the Dubai floor team and Polish for the Plovdiv line, or leave it open and let people self-select.

Read every comment in English

Open-text feedback comes back in dozens of languages. CultureMonkey translates every comment to English on demand, scores its sentiment and tags the themes, so a regional comment written in Spanish or Thai is as readable and actionable as one written at headquarters.

The HRBP in London, via their reporting line, gets to read a feedback from the São Paulo floor in English, with the theme and sentiment already attached.

Purpose-built for global rollout

From new-techs across 10+ countries to a multilingual factory floor to Arabic survey compliance assistance, every one of these is a programme we run today.

Technology & software

Distributed engineering and support teams that all need the survey at once, each in their own language. We took Cerence AI live in 30+ languages across 15+ countries, every employee choosing theirs at response time.

Technology surveys →

Manufacturing & heavy industry

Shop-floor and plant teams across countries and languages, most without a work email. We reach Robertshaw's mostly frontline workforce in nine languages, half of them uncommon, over SMS, WhatsApp and QR.

Manufacturing surveys →

Financial services

Banks and lenders spread across regions and regulators, each needing one comparable read. Bayport runs one engagement programme across nine countries in Africa and Latin America, on a single scale.

Financial services surveys →

Healthcare & life sciences

Regulated, multi-region organisations listening across APAC and EMEA at once. We run local-language dashboards per region for a global pharmaceutical company, so one People team reads a single picture across every market.

Healthcare surveys →

Logistics & field services

Drivers, depot crews and airport teams scattered across sites, reached on the channel they already use. We listen across Air General's 35+ airports, and reach no-email tanker drivers mobile-first.

See how we did it for Air General →

Hospitality & F&B

High-diversity teams in housekeeping, kitchens, plants and stores, in many languages, Arabic and right-to-left included. We took Aujan Coca-Cola live in five languages in seven days.

How CultureMonkey compares

For a global rollout you are usually choosing between a translation agency plus a survey tool, a generic survey platform, or a purpose-built one. Here is how they compare across languages, channels and time zones.

…not just a translation you might get on Google, but one that is actually utilized in each language, understood as the question is intended to be understood. And that is done by the employee choosing the language they would like to take that survey in.

The problem CultureMonkey solves is getting to a mostly frontline workforce in nine different languages — half a dozen of which aren't common. It makes it really easy, so we spend our time on the output that actually matters.

Frequently asked questions

How many languages does CultureMonkey support?
150+. Every survey can be machine-translated in minutes and then edited in-platform by your HR team. Sentiment and theme analysis also runs across all 150+ languages, so open-text comments in any language are analysed, not just English.
How fast can a multilingual survey go live?
Translation itself takes minutes, not the weeks a translation agency needs. Aujan Coca-Cola went live across five languages in seven days, against a process that would normally take 45. Most of the elapsed time is your own review, not the translation.
Can our HR team edit the machine translations?
Yes, and this matters most. Machine translation gives you a fast first draft; your HR or local team then edits any phrase in-platform for nuance, idiom and internal terminology before launch, so you sign off on the exact wording employees see.
Do we need a translation agency or vendor?
No. Translation is built into the platform. Each survey is machine-translated in minutes, then your HR or local team reviews the wording in-platform before launch, so there is no separate translation agency to hire or vendor process to manage. What used to take weeks of agency coordination now happens inside the tool.
Do all responses combine into one report, or one per language?
One report. Responses in every language roll up into a single unified analysis, so you read one engagement score for the whole company instead of reconciling a separate file per country.
Are email invitations and reminders translated too, or only the questions?
The whole employee-facing survey localizes: the survey title, instructions, response pages, email invitations and reminder nudges, not only the question text. An employee receives the invite, the reminder and the questions entirely in their own language.
How do employees without a company email take the survey?
Through the channel they already use. CultureMonkey can reach employees by WhatsApp, SMS, a shared QR code or an on-site kiosk, not only email, so frontline and deskless teams across countries can respond on a personal or shared device. Each channel carries the survey in the employee's own language.
Does sentiment analysis work on comments written in other languages?
Yes. Text and sentiment analysis runs across 150+ languages, so a comment written in Arabic, Thai or Polish is themed and scored alongside English comments in the same report.
Do you support right-to-left scripts and Asian languages?
Yes. Right-to-left scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew render correctly from the invite through to the report, and Asian languages including Mandarin, Thai and Japanese are fully supported.
How do employees pick or get assigned their language?
Either way. You can assign a language per segment straight from your HR data, so the Riyadh plant defaults to Arabic and the Plovdiv line to Polish, or you can leave it open and let each employee choose their language on the first screen.
Does CultureMonkey sync with our HRIS?
Yes. CultureMonkey syncs with major HRIS platforms including SAP SuccessFactors and Workday, so employee records, locations and team structures flow in automatically and stay current. That sync is what lets you assign a survey language by region or team without maintaining a separate list by hand.
Where is employee data hosted, and is it compliant?
You choose your data region. CultureMonkey offers EU and US hosting, so a company headquartered in the EU can keep employee data inside the EU to meet local requirements. The platform is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and anonymity thresholds mean no individual can be identified from their responses.
