    Hi there,

    we would like to have the language choice for our form as a first window to have it more prominent for the user to be choosen.

    Is that somehow possible without code? If not, do you have any documentation on such a use case?

    Best

    Unfortunately, this is not currently possible to do, it requires several custom codes, not only CSS, that may not be supported such as JavaScript too. 

    I'm opening a feature request for this, although we cannot provide an ETA, we will keep you updated about any progress on this or when this is available.

    Also, I think a workaround may be applied in the meantime using two forms, the first one to make the language selection and then redirect the user to the translated form. 

    You may use a drop down on the first form to display the languages your form is available on, then pass the language through the URL so the second form is translated on the picked language. 

    This guide will help you redirecting users to a different page: https://www.jotform.com/help/38-Redirecting-Users-to-a-Different-Page 

    To pre-select the language you may use the "language" parameter on the URL, example: https://www.jotform.com/62490669173969?language=es 

    This will set the default language to Spanish.

    I hope this helps.
