The MCSQ comprises 306 different questionnaires in the source language (English) and their translations into Catalan, Czech, French, German, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, as well as 29 language varieties (e.g., Swiss-French, Austrian-German). It is part of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC) project.
