​
App Surveys Configuration

1

Set Up Language for Users

After you setup the Formbricks SDK for your user, you can call the setLanguage function with the language code. This can be either the ISO identifier or the Alias you set when creating the language. The language attribute makes sure that this user only sees surveys with a translation in this specific language available.
If a user has a language assigned, a survey has multi-language activated and it is missing a translation in the language of the user, the survey will not be displayed.
2

Start Collecting Responses

That’s it! Now, users with the language attribute set will see the survey in their preferred language. You can start collecting responses in multiple languages and filter them by language on the summary page.
For link surveys, the translation delivery is dependent on the lang URL parameter.
1

Publish Your Survey

After publishing the survey, just copy the survey link and append the lang query parameter with the language alias you have set.
2

Create Language-Specific URLs

For example, if you have set the alias for French as fr, you can share the survey link ashttps://your-survey-url.com?lang=frHere are two examples:Without the lang parameter, Formbricks will show the survey in the default language you have set.

Start Collecting Responses

​
Translate with AI

Translating every question, option, and label by hand can take a while. If your organization has AI enabled, you can fill in missing translations in one click.
1

Open the Manage Translations modal

Inside the survey editor, switch to the language you want to translate into and open the Manage Translations modal.
2

Click 'Translate with AI'

The button is enabled when there are empty fields in the selected target language. Formbricks translates all empty headlines, descriptions, choices, and button labels from the default language into the target language.
3

Review and edit

AI-translated strings are filled into the editor like manual translations. Review them before publishing and tweak anything that needs a different tone or wording.
AI translation is an Enterprise feature and requires Smart functionality (AI) to be enabled at the organization level. See AI Features.

​
RTL Language Support

Formbricks fully supports Right-to-Left (RTL) languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu. When you add an RTL language to your survey, the survey interface automatically adjusts to display content from right to left.

​
How RTL Support Works

  • Text alignment automatically switches to right-to-left
  • Survey layout and UI elements adjust to RTL orientation
  • Button placement and navigation flow adapt to RTL reading direction
  • Form elements maintain proper RTL formatting

​
