Translating form via API?

Hi,

Is there a way to translate a form using Jotform API ?

Thank you

Hi Mark,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant. I'll do my best to help you until someone from the support team is available.

Currently, Jotform API does not provide a direct way to translate a form. However, you can make your form multilingual by adding different languages and translations within the Form Builder under Settings > Show More Options > Form Languages. This process is manual and done through the form interface rather than the API.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Best regards,
Jotform Support

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, translating the form fields or form element s using API is not possible. The only way to translate the form is by using the Form builder. Let me walk you through it:

1. Open your form in Form Builder, and in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.

2. Click on the Show More Options button, scroll down to the Form Languages section, and click on the Edit button.

3. In the Form Language option, click on the Downward Arrow icon and select your form's main language.

4. Once you select it, you'll see the Translations section. Click on the Add Language button, and select the language to be translated to show users.

5. Click on the Add button under the dropdown menu, and translate the fields that haven't been automatically translated into the target language.

6. Then, click on the Form Warnings tab to see/edit any untranslated fields. And here you can edit the translated fields too. It'll be automatically saved when you add or edit any text.

That's it. Now, when people select the other language while filling out your form, they'll see the translated form warnings and fields. Check out the screencast below to see how it'll work:
