Just as with pages and page sections, you can maintain forms/form sections in more than one language. This makes it possible to quickly and easily create a form/form section and then present it in multiple languages. When you create a form, you must select a language for the form. For each of the supported languages, the form also exists, however, when you first switch to a different language version of a form, the form elements have blank labels as does the form itself. Unlike pages and page sections, different language versions of a form always have the exact same form element structure and content. The only difference between language versions of a form are the language labels that appear above each form element. For example:

...

All language versions of a form share the same state. It is not possible, for example, to assign the state of "Active" to one language version of a form and "Inactive" to another. There are two ways to manage the labels for language versions of a form: In the form itself and using Language Labels. Both methods are described below.

...

Managing Labels using Language Labels

Another method of for managing form element labels for a language version is in the Language Labels dialog box. The advantage to this approach is that you can more quickly add/modify language labels for a form language version as well as for multiple versions of the form in the same language. In addition to the titles of the form elements, you can also quickly and easily manage the "Help Text" and "Extra Text".
