Translation Question - Adding Multiple Languages after Launching

Dear Sawtooth Community,

I have a question regarding the translation of the survey into multiple languages. Would it pose any issues if I begin data collection using only the English version, and then import translations for other languages into the same questionnaire at a later stage? Would there be any issues in regard of the survey execution or data collection?

If this approach is feasible: In the first question asking respondents to select their language, should I initially display only English or all language in the answer options, would that make any difference?

I will not be modifying the survey structure or content itself, I would only add the translated versions later due to the timeline. Thanks a lot for your guidance!
