Hi Ayush,

Unfortunately this Japanese translation looks very bad, containing
grammatical errors and unusual expressions that require time for
Japanese speakers to understand.  If you are going to use as it is, I
would guess that this would hurt participation to the survey, as well
as the quality of the answers.

If there is any raw material of this translation available, I would
like to help improving  it.
Best,
Yusuke Matsubara
