    I am trying to put a table on under the translation similar to how it appears in English but it doesn't give me the option. Is there a way for me to put a table on the translation. You can see the example in the picture that I have attached.

    Hello Amna,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. There's no option to automatically translate the text on the Paragraph field to a different language. Here's a workaround.

    1. Duplicate the Paragraph field.
    2. Manually translate it to Spanish so there will be two similar paragraph fields but in different languages.
    3. Add a Show/Hide Field condition logic to display the paragraph based on the language selected by the user.
    4. If the Language is equal to Spanish, it will display the Paragraph field with the Spanish Translation.

    5. If the Language is equal to English, it will display the Paragraph field with the English Translation.
