How can I create a reservations calendar in different languages

    Hi,

    I've looked around the forum using various searches and I can't find exactly the solution I'm looking for.

    What I'd like to do is to create a dual calendar reservation form including check-in date and check-out date. My need is that the check-in calendar disallow dates up until and including today - a reservation must be made a day in advance. And I'd the check-out calendar to disallow dates up until and including the check-in date as soon as it is selected.

    What I have so far is a calculation that shows the number of nights and if it is less than 1, an html text error message appears and the submit button is hidden via the conditions wizard. I'm not completely happy with it because the message is displayed by default until the user has entered both dates. Furthermore, I'm not able to exclude today or days before the check-in date which would be more user-friendly.

    I stumbled across the Checkin Checkout widget that someone there created, and it comes close, but I'd like to make modifications which unfortunately the widget doesn't allow. The most important is that I need to be able to show the calendar not only in English but also in Spanish, as the website is bilingual. Additionally, it doesn't exclude today's date.

    Does Jotform have the functioning available that I'm looking for?

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the response, Shadae.

    I'm so glad you enlightened me to the multi-language form option. I was expecting to have to create my form twice, and now I don't have to. A follow-up question: Is it possible to have the Edit Form Warnings (user input error messages) appear in either languages, depending on the one the user selects?

    Unfortunately, the Check in Check out widget doesn't translate when I set the language to Spanish (neither the 'Check In Date' / 'Check Out Date' labels, nor the month label within the pop-up calendar.) I think my form will look more elegant if I keep the current 'basic' set-up.

    Thanks again
