Staś, will you make the Polish translation by yourself, or do you need help with this?

Stas, we need some small improvements:

* fields are too narrow, e.g. the first question, why we only use a width of 330px?

* text fields for additional inputs should better be textarea instances

Since [id] language tends to have longer words, I agree with both Henrik's suggestion

It's so much easier to have this width fixed :) Plus in case of questions with "yes/no" answers, making the fields too wide would be bad from the usability point of view. What we can do easily is to have to different classes of questions: narrow and wide. Would that be good? Any suggestions on exact width for both classes?

> * text fields for additional inputs should better be textarea instances

I'm not sure about this. I like them the way they are now. We probably don't want to encourage to much writing there :) Why would you prefer textareas?

Thanks for looking at this. Please, keep me updated if you find other issues :)

Personally, this looks very good to me :)

Why can't you put the checkboxes and radio buttons in-front of the text? In
that case we wont have any usability problem in recognizing the correct line.
And this is the way the normal user expect it in our area. RTL locales should
use the current implementation.

Even if you don't want to have too much content here, its a hassle to give a
statement where you only be able to see 2 or 3 words. Nothing is more annoying
as scrolling all the way. I would prefer textareas because we can wrap the
text.

Selecting the 2nd radiobutton for e.g. question 1 (German), the text gets bold
and because the box is too narrow it's wrapped to the next line. Personally I
don't like that because all the following content is also shifted down.

I think the pattern in survey design is to have the radiobuttons/checkboxes on the right. At least, this has been my impression.

OK :) I see your points, I'll fix that (in next survey however). Would you ming filing a bug?

Fixed.

I'd like to close this bug, so ideally, we can move the discussion over to a new bug. Thanks! :)
