Multilingual feature
This feature allows you to create multilingual form to support diverse respondents on voting.
The Multilingual functionality allows designing forms with questions in different languages for respondents to choose from.
While setting up a form you can translate all its parts including alert messages, name, description, Thank You Page note, questions and answers into several languages. Having your form available for different people in their native language will assure a better understanding of the survey for the respondent and the results are tabulated into one report for easier result tabulation for the form owner.

Select a language that you want your form to appear in from the Language 2 dropdown menu;
