Hi there, I am asking for something that I don’t know if it’s possible. We just upgraded our plan in order to have multilingual Typeforms, which is great.

We have our website in several languages and we need to embed the form in a particular language according to the website language. Example: website in English, form in English. 

Currently, the option that we see is that we translate the typeform and when embeded it detects the browser language and offers the option to translate the typeform (if the browser is in German, one can translate the form into German, but it appears in the original language first)

The question is: is it possible to get a different ID for the typeform for each language translated with the multilingual tool so we can embed it in the website?

Hi ​@Capde Happy Wednesday! If you have the multi-language feature turned on, it will automatically translate the form in the browser language as you’ve seen. 

However, if you only want to show the form in a particular language, then I would suggest duplicating the form, turning off the multi-language feature (and instead only offer the form in that particular language), and embed each version of the form onto your pages according to the language. 

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any other questions!


Hi there! Thanks for the answer. Just to verify then: with the multi-language tool the form will translate automatically in the browser language? Bc from what we understood (and tested) it appears on the original language and gives the option to translate it to the user. (Find image attached)

 

If this translation should be automatic, how can we activate it?


Hi ​@Capde Ah sorry, I made that slightly confusing. It will show in the original language and allow for automatically translating the whole form into the browser language. However, if you don’t want to show the form in the original language, then I would create a form for every single language you would like to have the form in!


Then as a suggestion: would it be possible to have it automatically translated in the future?

Because in our case, having to create a new form for every language is a nightmare to maintain, because every change we do in one form we would have do it six times, with the mapping with hubspot that comes with it. 


@Capde Definitely understand that! I’ll add your request to the feature updates list for the language features!
