    I have tested the first issue and I could get the translation on my end. Kindly see demo below.

    On the second issue I managed resolving the issue by using Advanced editor to hnage the font to white.

    Hi Trevon,

    See below the issue in another field for the form Cadac Group BIM Price Calculator:

    In short the hover text is displayed in English whereas it should be displayed in the translated language i.e. French (I have had the same issue with other languages and other forms before):

    Can you please send me the ways to solve this issue promptly please?


    Thanks.

    Based on experience, I believe the issue you are having is caused when you copy/paste the text into the Hover Text of the field under the Advanced tab of the field's properties.

    There might be some extra, unnecessary formatted characters that were included when you copy/pasted the text, thus causing the translation to fail.

    So, to fix the issue, please try typing the hover text in manually instead of copying/pasting it from another source.

    Same goes for the translation — the translation of the hover text should be typed in manually.

    I hope this helps. If you have other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us again anytime.
