### 🌍 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”
