Can Forms be generated in the following languages?

John Michael (Mike) Munsil

• French
• Spanish
• Italian
• German
• Chinese
• Japanese
• Thai
• Vietnamese

Any advice on using forms in other languages?

The only solution I could think of was to create the questions all the languages and paste an image of the question in all languages at the top of each section of the form. Can you even paste an image into the header of a question?

Hi Mike,

You could duplicate/clone the main form and then change the heading titles and everything in the different forms for each language. The only thing I can think of that you can’t translate is the buttons.

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Thanks, Andrée. I think what I was really asking was whether or no we can use ideograms or kanji etc in the forms.

I don't know if it's possible so I'd recommend getting in touch with the Support Team.

I am in a similar pickle. I created the main form in English and then duplicated the form to serve Spanish, Chinese, Russian, and Vietnamese applicants. The problem I found was that changing the text for answers (drop down options, check box, etc) on one form changed the text for answers on all forms, where changing the headings/questions/help text changes just on the respective form. Is there a way to have the 5 forms feed the same sheet, without listing the answers in all languages on each form? I want the form in 5 languages, feeding the same sheet, without showing all languages on one form. Would I add all the answers in the 5 languages to my sheet and then only drop in the corresponding fields on my form? Looking for a workaround to avoid 5 individual sheets and forms.

Updating the language in the Spanish form changed the answers in my original English form:

Hi @Rachel J

I hope you're well and safe!

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Add as many so-called helper columns in the sheet so you can use specific columns and options for each language.
• Same as above, but in a separate sheet that you then could copy/move to the main one

Make sense?

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
