Form Submission in Different Language

    Asked on October 19, 2020 at 5:14 PM

    I have recently created my form in a 2nd language. When it is filled out and sent via email, is there a way to trigger a french version of the form being sent via email, instead of the english version?

    You can use conditional logic to send an email in French or English based on the language selected.

    A- Create two separate Email Notifications; One for each language

    B - Create two separate PDF template. (You can choose which file to attach to the notification from the Email ADVANCED SETTIGNS.

    C - Use conditional logic to send the a specific Email based on the language used by to submit the form.

    So another question for you;
    Is there a way to send my translated form via email after submission in both languages;
    So essentially you have the English and the top; and French at the bottom?
    I tried this but my fields were in the language submitted.

    You may send two PDF documents by disabling your condition and in your PDF attachment you select all PDF.

    Is there a reason why its so difficult to modify column sizes in the PDF editor? It's nearly impossible and one of the most frustrating experiences I've had lately. Up to this point, I've really enjoyed what jotforms had to offer but this is painful.

    In the screenshot below I have 3 sections; Somehow I was able to correctly get the size of columns in the first one, but no matter what I try in the next two it doesn't work. Most of the time, moving the column width bars don't have the right effect, certainly on the one to the left of Level 3. I can move that, and after releasing, it will just jump back to some random position.

    I've tried this in Chrome and Explorer. I would like my columns to be even so the report is neatly formatted.

    In addition to my last request, why do some of the cells have little lines above their checkmarks?

    I was trying this as well and when I try to create another notification email it says I need to upgrade my account. Is there a way you can override this for me?
    Our company, Superior Propane has a premium account. I am doing all the development and testing under this account and then we are cloning it over to our premium account once that is done. That way we don’t have to open up access to people on our paid account which controls other forms throughout the organization.
    Hopefully you can help here! I’m trying to put something together that will work in the interim of my other support ticket about the issue sent to dev.
    Thank you

    Unfortunately, we cannot override the notification templates limit on the account. 

    The premium admin can clone your form and add you as a collaborator so you can edit the clone. The collaborator does not have access to the whole account.
