    Hello- the "Form Warning" fields in a translated form do not appear to have right-to-left support for Persian. I assume this is also true for Hebrew and Arabic. Can you advise or fix?

    Hi Kevin,

    Thanks for reaching out to us for help. Currently, the translation features automatically put some of the form elements in the right-to-left format but it looks like it is not applied to the entire form format. We can inject CSS codes into your form to change the field layout. However, that will affect the layout of the form in any language. I suggest that you create a separate form for the languages that you need to be in the right-to-left format and change the layout of that form. Here's our guide on How to Align Your Forms to a Right-to-Left Direction.

    Then, you can redirect the users to the Arabic/Hebrew forms based on the language they select in the original form. You can use the following method:

    • Add a Paragraph field where the users can click on a hyperlink redirecting to the Arabic/Hebrew form.

    • Add a Show/Hide Conditonal Logic to show the Paragraph field and hide all the form fields is the user selects the Arabic or Hebrew language:
