Translate a form

If your Shopify store supports multiple languages, you can manually translate your forms to match each language.​

For example: On the site, select the Chinese language of the site, the form text display in Chinese too.

✏️ Steps

1. Open the app > click Forms > open the form you want translate

  1. Select the target language in the language button above the form preview (Form example: Chinese)

Note: Only the languages that are enabled in your Shopify store will appear in the translation dropdown inside the app. If a language isn’t enabled in Shopify, it won’t show as an option in the Form Builder. Learn more

3. Manually edit the text of the form (field label, placeholder, field description, mails, error message,..) in target language (Chinese).

⚠️ Important Reminder: Choosing a language from the dropdown does not automatically translate your form. You must manually enter the translated text for each language

4. Click Save to update the change in the form

  1. Repeat for Other Languages: Repeat steps 3–5 for each additional language you want to support.

🌍 How Translated Forms Work on Your Store

When you translate a form inside Powerful Form Builder, the form will automatically switch languages based on the language your customer selects on your website.

Example: Store Languages = English & French

Your Shopify store has two languages available:

  • English (default)

  • French

Inside the form builder, you add translations for both languages.

How It Looks to Your Customer

1️⃣ Customer views your store in English

🌐 Store language: English → The form automatically displays all English text:

  • “Name”

  • “Email address”

  • “What can we help you with?”

  • “Submit”

2️⃣ Customer switches the website language to French

🌐 Store language changed to: Français

→ The form instantly updates to show your French translations:

  • “Nom”

  • “Adresse email”

  • “Comment pouvons-nous vous aider ?”

  • “Envoyer”
