Preferences (language)
Choose the language you read Dapta Forms in. Preferences belong to you, not to the workspace: your choice follows your account into every workspace and every browser you sign in from.
Preferences is the part of Account settings that is about you rather than the workspace. It holds the language you read Dapta Forms in.
Step 1: Click your name at the bottom of the left menu and choose Preferences under Account settings. You can also open Account settings and click Preferences in its sub-menu. The page reads Preferences / Settings that follow you rather than the workspace.
Step 2: Pick a language under Language: English or Español. Each option is written in its own language, so you can find yours even when you cannot read the page. There is nothing to save: the dashboard switches as soon as you pick. If the change cannot be saved, the previous language stays selected and you see Your language could not be saved. Please try again.
What your language changes
The dashboard
Every screen of the admin, in every workspace you open. Your teammates keep their own choice.
Other browsers
Your choice is saved to your account, so signing in on another browser brings it back.
New forms
A form you create starts in your language: its Language setting under Design is set to it. Existing forms keep theirs. See Language & button text.
CSV downloads
The headers that are not questions, and the Status values, in a CSV you download. See Export to CSV.
New submission notice
If you are the workspace owner, the default wording of the New submission notice is in your language. See Notification emails.
What it does not change
What respondents see. A public form speaks the language of its own Language setting; on Auto it follows each visitor's browser. See Language & button text.
The Respondent confirmation email. It goes out in the language the respondent saw the form in.
The theme. That is the toggle at the bottom of the left menu. See Appearance.
💡 Tip: Preferences is not limited to admins and shows no Managing chip: every member of every workspace chooses their own language.
What's next
Workspaces, Team & Account: the other pages behind the profile menu.
Appearance: work in dark or light mode.
Language & button text: the language your respondents see.
