Text of this Question or Item

Before 2006 the GSS was only administered in English. Those without 
enough English to do the interview were excluded as out-of-scope, 
language problems. In 2006 a Spanish version of the GSS was added. If 
there had been no Spanish version available in 2006, could this 
respondent have been interviewed in English or do you think (s/he) 
would have been excluded as a language problem?
