    Hello, let's say we have a multilingual form, such as this


    https://www.jotform.com/62490669173969


    The default language is English. I get that the form will autodetect browser language. But what do I put in the URL if I want it to open automatically to Spanish, or French, or Turkish?

    Have you tried using ?language=en and ?language=es instead? Here's how you can append it on your form's direct link:

    https://www.jotform.com/62490669173969?language=es Spanish

    https://www.jotform.com/62490669173969?language=fr French

    https://www.jotform.com/62490669173969?language=tr Turkish


    Hope this information helps.

    Hello Richie,


    Do you know the language suffix for French Canadian? Is it ?language=fr-ca or what? 

    I can't seem to think what it might be?

    I have the form in Canada - English and French

    When I choose language=fr - it goes to FRANCE, not Canada French

    It should be capital "CA" so that would be fr-CA.
