How to display forms in different languages
- Ensure that the setting xforms.localeList has the locales which you want the forms to be displayed in, for example, en:English,es:Spanish
- Go to the Form Designer for the form you would like to change. You must have already created the form for one of the languages.
- In the Form Designer on the top right where it says Language, choose the language that you would like to translate to
- Click OK when it says that all changes will be discarded.
- Click on the text in the Design Surface tab and translate it. You will also need to change the text of the drop down options (for single select question types) in the "Form Fields" panel to the selected language.
- Save the form
- And now when you view the form in a patient's page it should change according to the locale.
