    Dear JotFormers,

    My form is in english, and I also set the langage of my form in English. But there is still some words in french in the form, for the months in the calendar, for the submit button "please wait" ... 

    Do you have any ideas how to change it ? 

     

    Thanks !

    Hi,

     

    I checked your form and it seems that the form is not setup to multilingual.

    Hello Chriistian !
    I don’t really need a multilingual form, English is enough. But even if i set the default langage into English, there is still some french word in it …
    Thanks for your help,
    Marc

    Hi Marc,

     

    I checked your form and I was not able to notice any french word in it. If you still find a french word in your form, you can directly edit the labels of your form in the Form Builder.

    If you are having difficulty in editing the label in your form, can you tell us what field did you notice the french word so we can further investigate? If you can provide us a screenshot of the issue then that would be great. To add a screenshot in the thread, just follow the instructions provided in this article: How to add screenshots/images to questions in support forum.

     

    Do let us know if the issue still persists.
    Regards.

    Hi there,

    If your browser's default language is set for French, that field detects it automatically and generates the texts in your browser's default language. (French)

    Please, try to set it as English and try the same scenario with those settings. Also, you can find the guide about how to do it from the link below:

    Thanks.

    Hi,

     

    I was able to see what you are reporting. The popup Calendar of the Date Time field is in French language.

    Even when I try to clone the form the popup calendar is still in French language. Please try to remove and add a new Date Time field and see if this will fix the issue.

    Hi,

     

    May I know if your Form Builder Language is in French? If so, before you add the new datetime field please try to set the language Form Builder to English and see if it will work. You can find the Language selector at the bottom of the Form Builder page.
