    Hi, is it possible for me to change the text on my language button to another language?

    For example, I want to allow a user to switch the form to Chinese, but they don't even understand the English text saying "Chinese". I would like to replace the English word "Chinese" to the Chinese word "Chinese". Is this possible on Jotform right now?

    Or there any other solutions to allowing native speakers switch to the language of their choice.

    Hi,

    Just to confirm, do you want to replace the Text word - English with Chinese?

    Here's a sample image:

    Is that correct?

    Or do you want to switch place the English and Chinese in the Language Dropdown menu?

    Hi there, yes! I want to replace the text word in English to Chinese (or any of the other languages). So when someone clicks on the language button, they don't see the name of the language written in English, but the name of the language written in that language.

    Hello! It is not directly possible but with the help of CSS code, this can be achieved.

    Please check this form: https://www.jotform.com/202972039060047

    It has 2 languages, English and Hindi. The language phrases change on language selection. This method is not perfect. Please have a look at the following screencast on how this works:

    Please test the form and if this serves your purpose, let us know your Form ID/URL and we'll assist you with the code.

    We can also escalate this as a feature request if you want us to. Let us know.
