You can translate interface of Form or Picklists by following some steps which are explained below.

Steps to translate interface of Form #

In the examples shown below, I am using the existing web form which was created on Contact object to explain the translations. Refer to the academy articles on how to create a Web Form and send web form requests.

1. Select the required Web form Doc Config and create a new DocConfig Datasources
   Note: you can select an existing Data Source, and use it any number of times for different Doc Configs. In this case, go straight to point 3 or you can create a new Data Source and add to Doc Config.
   
   
2. Create a new Data Source:
   Data Source Name: Form Translation (for example)
   Record Type: STATIC VALUES
   Add “PDF Butler Static Data”
   
3. Add this Data Source to Actionable of the Doc Config record.
   Translations Datasource: Form Translation (for example)
   
4. From setup, Go to Settings and click on Language & Time Zone. Change the locale to the desired display language, for example, select German, and then click ‘Save.
   
5. Create a FORM Request.
   
   by default the language for this form will be the same as the user who created this FORM Request. You can change the Locale as explained in step 4 or you can change the language for this form request alone, update the field:
   FORM Request.Locale, for example en_US, de_DE, fr_BE
6. Then click on the link in the request and check the result. All the form translations happens as shown below.
