Create multilingual forms

Tags

It is useful to create multilingual forms if your operators come from different countries.

Whether if they are french or English speakers, operators will understand the information appearing on the forms.

1. What is multilingual forms?

This functionality allows you to create a form and decline it in several different languages.

The form will have the same layout regardless of the language used by the operator.

The activation of this option is on the home page of your form.

You will then have to define a default language and the languages that must be activated (currently, French and English are available).

On your form, you must edit your form using the language at the top right. Please note, the changes relating to the layout of the widgets are only made on the form associated with the default language.

The form associated with the default language is taken as the reference form.

2. In practice, how do you create a multilingual form ?

Context : Imagine a company having to inspect rails located within the Channel Tunnel. The operators can be French-speaking or English-speaking.

Only one form should be used. Operators, whether French or English, operate on the same asset and perform the same interventions .

The multilingual form created will contain two widgets :

  • An Evaluation widget to note the condition of the rail checked.
  • A Text widget for the operator to add comments.

1. In the Documents tab, click on "New Document". Enter a name for your new form (for example: "Multilanguage Form").

2. Click on "Languages" then on "Modify options" '.

3. Select a default language (in our case "French").

4. Check the languages that must have a version of the form (in our case French and English).

5. Click on "Edit form".
