[FAQ (Compyle)](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/compyle-documentation?hsLang=en#faq-compyle) # Translating Forms in Compyle ## Options for supporting people who are more familiar with reading a language other than English ### **Form Logic & Language Options** If your organization has different language versions of the same form, you can use [form logic rules](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/form-logic-rules-conditional-logic-for-survey-forms-and-note-forms?hsLang=en) to make a shared form where the participant chooses their language, and the form changes to show that language.  1. Create the form with a field in the first section for choosing the preferred language. 2. Add a section for each language a. Include all of the instructions/description fields in that language in that section. b. Set the section to be hidden. This is so you can show it as needed. 3. Label any shared/common fields in all of the languages the form supports and any field options should include be in those languages. a. Having shared data entry fields will simplify reporting.  b. If the shared fields are too wordy for ease of use, you can make separate fields. If possible, those fields should have numeric as well as text options so you can easily combine results from the individual language fields.  4. Create a form logic rule for each language that the form includes. a. The IF trigger field will be the field where users select their language.  b. Then THEN actions will include showing the section for the selected language and any language specific fields in other sections. 5. Test the results to make sure the language selection changes the form in the desired ways. 6. If you will need paper copies of the multilingual form, you can use the [Rule list .... menu's print option](https://support.clearimpact.com/en/form-logic-rules-conditional-logic-for-survey-forms-and-note-forms?hsLang=en) to get a blank version of the form with the selected rule applied. You will want to make different printouts for each language that you included in the form.    ### **Google Chrome Browser - Google Translate** Compyle forms are fully compatible with the Google translate built into Chrome. If the people taking a survey are using Chrome and have a different primary language set, Google Translate will automatically translate all of the field labels, field options, and system buttons into that language.  For users working on their own personal devices, their language may already be set to their primary language. If you plan to provide devices for participants to use on site, you may want to set Chrome's default language to that of your target population on at least one of those devices and label it in that language. *See below for guidance from Google Chrome's help documentation*. Also, keep in mind that the survey reminder email is dependent on the recipient's email program. It may be best to send the email reminders and other communications in the main languages of your participants.   The following text is from the Google Chrome Help Center's [translation support page](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/173424?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&oco=1#zippy=%2Cchange-your-default-language:~:text=Google%20Chrome-,Change%20Chrome%20languages%20%26%20translate%20webpages,-You%20can%20change). --- #### Change Chrome languages & translate webpages You can change your preferred language in Chrome.
