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 configured in your instance of Live Forms of  (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 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.

  1. Choose the locale from the dropdown. In this example we choose Spanish. Note the list of available locales is configured by your Live Forms your  system administrator (Live Forms In-house only).
  2. Browse to your translation file - TravelRequestForm_spanish.properties on disk
  3. Click the upload button. You will see the new locale appear in the list above. In this case named Spanish::locale=spa
  4. Click the application  icon to test the form with your translation to this new 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 Forms Home Page are by default for default locale.

Server Customization

Live Forms In In-house supports the ability to customize runtime and design time strings and add additional locales and RTL languages. To make any of these changes to your In-house  server you must follow these steps:

...

In-house server localization is only for embedding. ie. you use this on a task list embedded in your own web site. This is not for use in Live Formsin ' s UI. ie. if you append &locale=spa to the task list as an experiment shown above you will notice that Live Forms 's surrounding  surrounding page content is visible (as expected) and is not localized. This is correct and expected behavior. You are expected to embedded the task list in your own localized web site.
