MAXQDA user interface in 12 languages

It is our goal to offer you excellent QDA software in your language, so you can concentrate on your research, not on translation. We’re proud to offer MAXQDA in 12 different languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese (traditional and simplified), Turkish, Russian, Thai and Polish!

Unicode software

MAXQDA 10 is the first QDA software that completely supports Unicode, meaning you can not only import and analyze documents in any language (from Japanese to Arabic), but you can also create your codes, variables, document names, etc. in these languages. The Unicode functionality is available in every MAXQDA 10 function.

With MAXQDA 2007, the software was able to handle Unicode. Unicode is an international standard with the goal of standardizing all known languages and characters. This makes it possible to work with various languages in the same document. One sentence can be in English, the next in Mandarin, and the next in Arabic.

In MAXQDA, even codes and variable names can be created with “foreign” characters, and searches and in-vivo coding are possible with any language.

Testimonials

"I have recently compared MAXQDA's ability to import pdf documents with the current versions of NVivo and Atlas.ti, and just wanted to say that MAXQDA 10 is definitely superior to both products when it comes to importing pdf files."

(Aine Humble, PhD, Fada Research Consulting, Canada)

(Ikuya Sato, Professor of Sociology and Organizational Science, Hitotsubashi University,Tokyo,Japan)

"You can carry out highly fine-grained analyses of qualitative data with the help of MAXQDA's advanced options, including MAXDictio and MAXMaps. Simply the best of all QDA software."

(Ikuya Sato, Professor of Sociology and Organizational Science, Hitotsubashi University,Tokyo,Japan)

"What I like about MAXQDA is its ease of use (a low learning curve), the depth and breadth of its classifiaction and analysis functions, and the possibiltiy of conducting different kinds of qualitative or texts analysis simultaneously."

(Warren A. Hodge, Ph.D., University of North Florida, Department of Counseling and Educational Leadership)

"The combined strength of MAXQDA and MAXDictio expands the researcher's capacity to manage and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data. Your programs are true friends of the researcher who values qualitative and quantitative or mixed-method research."

(Warren A. Hodge, Ph.D., University of North Florida, Department of Counseling and Educational Leadership)

"The ability to easily import string and numeric selection variables provides an invaluable tool for relating complementary quantitative and qualitative research strategies. This and other features have made MAXQDA particularly well-suited for integrating ethnographic and epidemiological methods for a cultural epidemiology of various health problems."

(Mitchell Weiss, MD, PhD, Professor and Head, Department of Public Health and Epidemiology, Swiss Tropical Institute, Basel)

"The weighting, color coding, and ability to move groups of coded segments made the analytical process much easier than other tools I've used in the past. I have shown the program to a number of other doctoral students and they were amazed at the ease of use and flexibility of the program."

(Cheryl Fliege, Walden University, USA)

"I found MAXQDA extremely easy to use. I am basically using it for data management, and I do not know how I ever would have managed everything without it! […]."

(Rhonda F. Levine, Colgate University, USA)

"[…] The search tools are easy to use and make logical sense when you get the hang of them, and assigning attributes is easy. Ordering codes by weight was extremely useful in research where this was applicable. Those codes deemed most important using the data and team consensus could be assigned a weight and used in a very grounded way to show trends, develop narratives and so on. […]"

(Raewyn Bassett, Dalhousie University, Canada)

(Wendy Hunter, Deakin University, Australia)

"MAXQDA is a very easy piece of software to use and has made analysis an enjoyable and rewarding experience."

(Julie Clark, Thames Valley University, UK)

"I used MAXQDA to code and analysis case study data. MAXQDA made that process much more manageable and easy as it was a large scale project and included over 50 hours of interviews as well as media and policy documents. Having all that material in one file/coding system was very useful. It was also useful as we could save that material on a shared computer drive as the authors were based in different locations during the research."

(Bernie Grummell, UCD)

"MAXQDA is very easy to navigate, and to keep track of exactly what you've done. I like being able to open only those screens I want to work with and close those I don't. The weighting function has been unexpectedly useful to us."

(Ellen Pruyne, Lancaster University, UK)

"Very easy to get up and running with the program. Have shared it with doctoral students."

(Jenny Edwards, Fielding Graduate University; USA)

"[…] The coding margin is especially useful, showing which codes are assigned to which pieces of text. Being able to colour the code icon also helps give a very quick overview of coding to a document. The memo margin/column also provides easy access to memos assigned to text in a specific document. The code matrix and code relations browsers are very useful to give another overview of coding and relationships between codes, and are useful tables for inserting into manuscripts and reports. The search tools are easy to use and make logical sense when you get the hang of them, and assigning attributes is easy. Ordering codes by weight was extremely useful in research where this was applicable.
