Form Languages help one form work for respondents in different languages. Set the form’s interface language, add translated content with AI, review the translation quality, and keep a single public form link for every language. Use this when your form may be opened by people in different regions, families, communities, teams, or customer groups.

What Form Languages Control

FormHug separates language settings into two parts:
SettingWhat it controls
Interface languageBuilt-in form text, such as buttons, navigation, validation messages, and other system UI
Content translationYour form content, including the title, description, questions, options, and submission-related content
The interface language is the default language for the form. Content translation adds extra respondent-facing languages on top of the source form.

​
What Respondents See

When respondents open the form, FormHug checks their browser language. If a matching translation is available, the form opens in that language automatically. If FormHug cannot find a matching translation, the form falls back to the original form language. Respondents can also switch manually from the language selector at the top of the public form.

  • Form title and description
  • Field labels
  • Field options
  • Help text and descriptions
  • Submission-facing content after the form is completed
