| | The internationalization feature enables you to easily localize your forms for target audiences that vary in culture, region and language. Live Forms supports all ISO-639-2 languages worldwide including RTL (right-to-left) languages. The list of available languages and locale codes can be [[#Configuration | configured]] in your instance of Live Forms (Live Forms In-house only) Translations use UTF-8 encoding by default but you may also upload ISO-8859-1 (Unicode) strings. 
You can easily localize any form by clicking on the  icon next to any form on the [[V4_Forms_Home_Page | Forms Home Page]]. This open the Locale Home Page for that form. 
The default locale is the original language you used in the form designer. Each new locale you create will appear on this page. In the example above this form was translated to Spanish. The steps below describe the process of creating, testing and using a Spanish locale translation for a form named Travel Request. |

...
The string locale=spa in the name is the Url parameter that you need to append to the form's Share Url to make the form appear in Spanish rather than the default. The 
test button and the share button here on the Locale Home Page do that for you automatically. The test & share buttons on the [[V4_Forms _ Home _Page | Forms Home page]] are Page are by default for default locale. If a locale Url parameter is not specified it defaults to the default locale.
...
The form Url parameter locale= controls which language the form renders. If the parameter is not present or the value is empty (&locale=) or is set to a locale code for which no translation file exists, then the form will render in the default language. To render the form in a different language such as in Spanish rather than the default add &locale=spa to the form Url. The test button and the share button on the Locale Home Page do that for you automatically. The test & share buttons on the [[V4_Forms _ Home _Page | Forms Home page]] are Page are by default for default locale.
...
Your form's style (colors, font, etc...) can be locale specific. This enables the form designer to select culturally appropriate colors based on the current locale and to match forms to websites that have also been localized using cultural fonts and colors.
