Localisation
Sintel Forms now supports multiple languages, allowing users to experience the platform in their preferred language. This feature ensures a seamless experience for diverse teams and organisations worldwide.
With localisation enabled, the form viewer and all system messages will automatically be displayed in the selected language.
🌎 Supported Languages
Users can choose from nine supported languages in addition to english:
🇩🇰 Danish
🇫🇮 Finnish
🇫🇷 French
🇩🇪 German
🇮🇪 Irish
🇮🇹 Italian
🇵🇱 Polish
🇵🇹 Portuguese
🇪🇸 Spanish
Users will now be able to choose from any of the 9 new languages and this will change the UI language in the form viewer and all system messages.
How Localisation Works
🔍 Automatic Language Detection
Sintel Forms detects a user’s default language settings based on their browser or Microsoft 365 preferences and applies the appropriate language.
🌐 Manual Language Switching
Users can manually change the display language via the built-in language switcher, allowing them to select a language that best suits their needs.
💾 Remembering Preferences
The system remembers the last selected language for each user and form, ensuring consistency across sessions.
📌 Setting a Fixed Language
Administrators can disable language switching and enforce a single common language for all users of a form.
Enabling or Disabling Localisation
By default, the language picker is enabled for all forms created after v1.43.
To disable language switching:
-
- Open Localisation settings in the Sintel Forms Designer.
- Turn off “Allow switching languages”.
- Select a default language for all users.
Once this is set, users will no longer see the language picker, and all system messages will appear in the chosen language
End of support for the legacy localisation
We are retiring the previous localisation feature, which will no longer be available in forms created after the 1.43 release, or in existing forms where it was never used.
For forms that previously used the legacy localisation feature with customised text labels, users will have the option to upgrade to the new system. However, please note that any existing customisations will be lost upon switching. The new language picker and localisation options will only become available after upgrading to the latest functionality.
