I am making forms in english and spanish, and they pass to a second form, is there a way to change the language shown on the second form depending on the first form? so they don´t have to choose the language again?

You can append the parameter to change the form language automatically. For example:
https://www.jotform.com/71957114218962?language=de
You can find the language codes here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_language_codes.asp.
Note that you need to translate your form first before you can use this method.

Now, in order to redirect users to the correct language, you need to add a conditional logic in the form. This guide:

Just don't forget the other parameters to populate the second form.
Let us know if you need further assistance on this.

I've created this form for you, the first form:
https://www.jotform.com/71986056736974
This is the second form: https://www.jotform.com/71957114218962.
If you will select English in the language dropdown of the first form, you will be redirected here:
If you will select Dutch, you will be redirect here:
Here are my conditions:
You can just do the same so users won't need to select the language again in the second form.
Let us know if you have questions or if you are confused about the steps.

Thankyou, I have followed your instructionsm but something is wrong, because if the form is to be set in english, the forms does show in english, how ever in some fields thay I need to show text, instead of the text, it shows the id of the field. This does not happen in spanish.
form 1: https://form.jotformpro.com/71170220452947
url for english:
example url:
url for spanish:
example url:
the only difference on the above examples/urls is the language, because it´s the same submission

Hello Kgr0up,
I did test the prepopulation URL you have shared and I am able to replicate the issue you are having. The translation working just fine in your form but the issue is with the field value you are trying to display in text field.
If you select the language again in your form, it seems to work as expected. Please check the screenshot below:
I would suggest you to please change the default selection of your form's primary language and see if that solves your problem. Please check the screenshot below:
I will also go ahead and test this issue further.
Thank you!
