    UPDATE: Never mind, I figured it out. When you add French as a language, it will automatically provide the standardized translations. But if you add questions after that step, the translations won't appear. So you can remove the French, and add it back - and then all the new question fields will be automatically translated (assuming the translations exist in your system). I'd suggest clarifying your instructions about this feature to provide those details.

    Hi - after reading your pages on multilingual forms, I get the impression that some languages have built-in automatic translations for standard fields. I am building a form in English and French. I see the fields for PREVIOUS, NEXT, SUBMIT get translated into French automatically. But not fields like FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, ADDRESS etc. - for these fields, I need to provide my own translations.

    Is this correct? Or is there a way for these standard fields to be automatically translated by your system?

    Thank you!
