Multi-Language

You can build forms to support multiple languages. This allows districts or schools to communicate with parents or students in their native languages. When you create a form, you can add translations that allow the form to be displayed in other languages.

  2. Under Forms Configuration, choose Multi-Language Setting.

    The Default language is the language displayed if the user has not chosen a language preference. The User Count is the number of users who currently have chosen the language as their default.
  3. To add a language, click New or select one of the listed languages.
  4. Select one or more Available Languages.
  5. Click Submit.

Set User Preferences

On the Forms page for each portal, the user can click the Preference button to choose from a list of languages defined on the System Forms Configuration Multi-Language Setting page.

After selection, the form listing is reloaded and any forms that have translations for the selected language are displayed in that language. When a translation is not available, the form is displayed in the default language.

When filling out a form, the form's title bar displays the language into which the form is translated. All available translations for the form appear in the drop-down list, which allows the user to choose a language in which to display the form without having to change their user preference.
