    Is it possible to add in a document that has been translated back to English from Spanish and associate it with the original application in Jotform?

    Hi Lindsey,

    Yes, you can add a document that has been translated back to English and associate it with the original application in Jotform. You can upload the translated document as a file element or attach it within your form or app, ensuring it is linked to the original submission.

    Let us know if you need help with the specific steps.

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

    Best regards,

    Hi Lindsey,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I am not sure if I understand your concern correctly. Do you want the uploaded file of your user to be translated to a different language? Or, do you want to make your form multilingual? If yes, it's easy to translate an existing form into another language. 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.
