Multiple language forms with 123FormBuilder

When you access the Language section of your form for the first time in our form builder, you’ll first notice the default language. This is the first language you can choose to edit. The words that you used as field labels when building your form are the starting point for all future translations for a particular form.

Below the default language there is a plus sign.

Add new language

Click on it and a lightbox will pop up where you can select what other languages you want to add to your form. Let’s say we are choosing Spanish as a second language.

Add a new language

Once the second language has been added to the form, it will be displayed in the left side panel. By hovering over them, you can choose which language to be the default one and you can also edit or delete it.

Note: Please keep in mind that adding the language to the form does not automatically translate it. You will have to click on the pen icon and manually input the translation for each field/error message/system message.

Clicking the pen icon will open a different lightbox where you will find all the form fields that you’ve created and all the system/error messages on the left column. On the right side, you will need to type in the translation for each text/message.

Customize translation

In the same Language section, you have two buttons: Export to CSV and Import from another form.

Import from another form

Export to CSV will automatically start downloading a CSV file containing all the translations from your form. The latter is useful if you’ve already set up a multi-language form from where you can import translations.

Important Note

Copy the tags of the messages that appear on the left in case you want to keep the same structure (e.g. %s is used for links and variables).

Translations tags

You can also use the form’s language in conditional logic when creating Field Rules, Notification Rules, or Form Rules.

    1. Hello Yves.

      As the form does not directly communicate with your WIX page, the language option of on the form needs to be selected separately from the site language option.

      For any further questions you might have, please contact our Support team at support@123formbuilder.com, or, via our contact page.

      Thanks!
