    We are about to finish creating a form.

     

    We are about to finish creating a form.

    Attached are two screenshots in which we have a few doubts.

    1) In the left side of the screenshot we would like to put "Please select" instead of "Por favor, selecione" as seen in the image.

    2) In the right side of the screenshot we would like to change the color (brick) that we did not find appropriate. Could you help us change it. We have already tried the Form Designer and nothing happens.

    3) We also have the information regarding pairs of language, we are inserting the first field but if a translator has more pairs of language to add, can he duplicate the field on his own? Is there a possibility to insert a "+", so that the translator could duplicate and insert how many pairs of languages he needs?

     

    Thank you very much for your help.

    I checked your form and, it must have been with your language settings that is why the "please select" was translated to Portugese " Por Favor Selecione".

    Try changing your Jotform Language in your https://www.jotform.com/myaccount/settings

    then Settings > Language.

    and add the address field.

    2.) We can use custom css to change the background.

    option{
      background-color: white; /* you can change the background color with any colro you want*/
    }

    3.)To make your forms multilingual, you need to go to your Settings>Form Settings >Translation then edit.

    You would be transfered to the Language settings and you can add the Form language.

    Thank you for your answer, we'll check these features.

    1. Regarding the background colour, the problem is when you want to develop the "Please select" option, the background of the list of countries is "Brick" and we couldn't change it.

    We've tried to change at the CSS level as you said, by using the following link:
     
    .form-dropdown.form-address-country {background-color : white;}
     
    then the background is white when you look at the form but when you open the "please select" menu with all the countries, the background with all the countries is still "Brick".
     
    Could you please tell us exactly how to change these options?
     
    2. Regarding the 3rd question, we didn't mean to add a language to the form (despite it is a very nice option and we might use it too.)
    In fact, we wanted to know how the person who is filling the form might add more fields.
     
    For example:
    In the form, we might prepare the fields for 3 pairs of languages as a standard so it would be
     
    1. pair of languages
    2. pair of languages
    3. pair of languages
     
    And we would like to have for example a "+" at the side of the "3. pair of languages", then the person filling the form might click and add a 4. pair of languages.
    Is that clearer?
     
    Thanks for your help,

    1.) As I check your form, the css code was missing.

    Kindly insert the css code in your Form Designer>CSS


    option{
      background-color: white;
    }

    Here is a sample output:

    2.) Thank you for clarifying, you can use the configurable list widget or  dynamic_textbox

    Here is a screen cast for Dynamic Textbox:
