Translating Forms

Forms can be translated to any locale that Liferay DXP supports. The form builder specifies a translation of the form’s default language.

The form’s default language and the available translations are set in the site’s language configuration.

Follow these steps to create a form translation:

  1. Go to Site Administration (your site’s menu) → ContentForms and open the form to translate.

  2. Click Add Translation and choose from the available languages.

  3. Translate the form’s title, field labels, field options, field placeholder text, and any other text visible to the user.

  4. Save and publish the form.

To fill out a translated form in a translated language,

  1. Access the form. If a signed-in user accesses the form and a translation is available in the user’s language, the user sees the translated form by default.

  2. To see the form in a different language, click the language icon and select a language.

  3. Fill out the form as usual and click Submit.
