    Guten Tag,

    ich habe in meinen Einstellungen die Sprache Deutsch eingestellt. Warum ist hier alles durcheinander?
    Mal ist etwas deutsch, dann wieder englisch....

    Hi Rennert,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our German Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in German, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

    Now, let me help you with your question. I checked your form and can see that it's currently in the German language. But if you want to make your form multilingual, allow your form fillers to choose your form’s language. Let me walk you through it:

    1. Open your form in Form Builder.

    2. In the orange navigation bar at the top of the screen, click on Settings.

    3. Click on the Show More Options button.

    4. Scroll down to the Form Language section and select the language you want to translate the form from.

    5. Click on the Edit button next to Translations, and then click on the Add Form Language button.

    6. Select the language you want to translate the form to, and then click on the Add Form Language button.

    Now, the translated form will look like the one below:

    7. Go to Form Warnings to see/edit any untranslated fields. And here you can edit the translated fields too. It'll be automatically saved when you add or edit any text.

    8. When you're done making the form multilingual, you can click on Preview Form to see how it'll look to anyone filling out your form:

    Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.
