How to Translate the Start Filling button to French

Bonjour, je ne parviens pas à changer cette zone de l'anglais au français : la zone "start filling" au tout début.

J'ai trouvé une réponse à cette même question dans la demande d'un autre utilisateur en 2021, la réponse apportée ne m'a pas servie : elle disait d'aller dans les paramètres, et de changer la langue, ce que j'avais déjà fait. Cela a marché pour les autres "zones", mais il reste encore ce "start filing" du début du formulaire qui reste toujours en anglais...

Merci de votre aide,

Hi chapelleslandunvez,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our French Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to help you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd rather have support in French, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

Now, coming back to your question, I'm sorry that you are having difficulties with this. You can only change the Start Filling button if the French Language is the secondary language on your form. Let me show you how:

1. In Smart PDF Forms, in the blue navigation bar at the top of the screen, click on Settings.
2. Click on Form Settings on the left side of the screen and click the Show More Options button.

3. Click the Edit button on the Form Languages section.

4. Select English as the Primary language and select Français as the secondary language then click the +Add button.

5. You will now see the translation section of the Start Filling button.

Check out the screenshot below for the result:

That's it. You can also check out this guide on How to Make Your Forms Multilingual.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

Thank you for the answer,

I follow the exact instructions, but the problem is always there...

I share you 2 screens :

At last, you see that it is exactly the same... I don't know why !

Sorry for my poor English...

Brigitte

Hi chapelleslandunvez,

Thanks for getting back to us. It seems like the change won't immediately be applied if you don't first change the language of the form.

We can apply a CSS code that will immediately change the language on the Start Filling button. If you don't want to have an English language on the form, you can remove it and change your form back to the initial setting where the main language of the form is Français.

Now, let's apply the CSS code. Let's do this:

1. In Smart PDF Form, click the Blue Paint Roller icon on the right side of the page.
2. Go to the Styles tab.

3. Enter the custom CSS code below. You can check out this guide on How to Inject Custom CSS Codes.

/* Change the Language on the Start Filling button - 14364591*/



button.pdff-headerSideButton:nth-child(3) > span:nth-child(1) {



visibility: hidden;



}



.pdff-headerSideButton.forFill.js-pdfStartFilling::before {



content: "Commencer à remplir";



position: relative !important;



right: -80px;



}



/* Ends here */

Check out the screenshot below for the result:



You can also clone this demo form if you want to check it. You can check out this guide on How to Clone an Existing Form From a URL.

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

Oh, thank you very much, all is OK now !

Have a good day !
