Language choice does not work, I can select any language and 
invariably the English survey will appear.

We also had these problems in the BHL user survey.

The survey looks like some commercial stuff, they also ask for your 
e-mail address. Like that of a commercial company taking advantage of 
scientists believing that they would contribute to improving 
standards in Wikipedia

It seems that the Wikimedia Foundation is responsible, so no 
commercial abuse.

Several important and really problematic points are not asked in the 
survey. It seems that in some points they have not the faintest idea 
where the real problems are. Or they are afraid of learning them.
