    The landing will be our logo and two buttons

    Hi Claudia, 

    It's easy to translate an existing form into another language. Let me walk you through it:

    1. Open your form in Form Builder, and in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.

    2. Click on the Show More Options button, scroll down to the Form Languages section, and click on the Edit button.

    3. In the Form Language option, click on the Downward Arrow icon and select your form's main language.

    4. Once you select it, you'll see the Translations section. Click on the Add Language button, and select the language to be translated to show users.

    5. Click on the Add button under the dropdown menu, and translate the fields that haven't been automatically translated into the target language.

    6. Then, click on the Form Warnings tab to see/edit any untranslated fields. And here you can edit the translated fields too. It'll be automatically saved when you add or edit any text.

    Hi Claudia,

    As a workaround, you can create a new form with the two buttons in it. One is for Spanish, and the other one is for English. Let me show you how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Add Form Element in the upper-left corner to open Form Elements.

    2. In Form Elements, search and select Paragraph under Basic.

    3. Then go to Source Code and paste the HTML codes below.

    <a style="background-color: black; padding: 10px; color: white; text-decoration:
    none; display: inline;"
    href="PASTE YOUR LINK HERE" target="_blank">Spanish</a>

    And here's the code for the English button.

    <a style="background-color: black; padding: 10px; color: white; text-decoration:
    none; display: inline;"
    href="PASTE YOUR LINK HERE" target="_blank">English</a>

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
