The view layer is in charge of retrieving data from the database through the use of data beans and formatting it to meet the display requirements. The view layers determines whether the request is sent to a browser or streamed out as XML. JSP files present a clean separation between data content and presentation.

Procedure

Edit the XML input file
Find the <langId> element corresponding to the question that you want to change. The langId element will be inside a <conceptInfo> element.
Set the langId number for the question by entering the number that corresponds to the language that you want to make the question available in.

The question will not be translated as a result of changing this number, for instance.
