By default, the primary language for Tufts Microsoft Forms is English (United States). However, Forms allows you to select additional languages. Note that these language selections only impact the standard text of the form (e.g., the “required” marker, the submit button, warning text, etc.). Choosing different languages will NOT automatically translate your form questions or responses.

HOWEVER, if desired, you can prepare translated versions of your form yourself! Respondents can then select whatever languages you made available.

    • Add language options for your form
    • Translate your form in selected languages (Click the Edit button and translate the form manually.)
    • Remove language optionsMultilingual settings

Completing Forms in Different Languages

When multiple language options are available for a form/quiz, respondents can select between them from a dropdown menu toward the top of the page.
