Different ''Takes X time'' estimates on same form?

L

Hi community! I created my first forms today. They are the same form, but in Dutch and in English. When I publish my forms, I get different estimates of the time it takes to complete the form (Dutch is estimated at 7 minutes and English at 4 minutes). How is that possible? I didn't add anything else to the form!

Hi @Luukdw For some context, we use machine learning to guesstimate the amount of time a form will take to fill out. Since the Dutch language uses more characters, it’s most likely increasing the time because of this. Regardless, @NaveenKasturi will take a look at the form for you! :grinning:

    ​@Liz is there a way to turn off the amount of time either on specific surveys or globally?
