Please! šŸ™ Add an option that allows the user to **choose the language and enable automatic translation** (for **titles, forms, questions, and placeholders** ). I operate in **four languages** , and currently thereā€™s **no solution** to manage a **multi-language study** efficiently. Having to create a separate study for each language is **not practical** and itā€™s **hurting my user experience (UX)**. Thank you! ---

Hey @futura currently, the only way to control the language out put is via a 2 step process: 1. For the studio user-facing languages, youā€™ll have to set the studio settings from the ā€˜settingsā€™ tab 2. Create an individual Pickaxe for each language, and instruct each Pickaxe via the system prompt ā€œROLEā€ section - to output in a specific language. e.g. ```auto #Always output in Spanish Language. No exceptions. ``` -Ned. ---

Thanks for your comment ā€” I already have that part set up. However, my users arenā€™t limited to Spanish. We currently support **English, Spanish, and Portuguese** , and weā€™ll soon add **Arabic and French**. Therefore, setting up a study restricted to a single language doesnā€™t work for us, since users wouldnā€™t be able to **switch languages within the same study**. ---

Hey @futura it could be possible to instruct the AI via the system prompt to output in the userā€™s language - but that should be dependent on the language the user inputs their queries in. Iā€™ll test using the prompt architect tool I built for the PPA to see if thatā€™s possible. If youā€™re okay with it, you can share your system prompt with me via DM Iā€™ll input it into the prompt tool to update it with instructions to output and multiple languages. -Ned ---

Thanks Ned, that part is not the problem. What Iā€™m requesting is the **translation of the form questions** , since thatā€™s the **starting point of my process** with users. That section doesnā€™t update automatically because itā€™s **custom-created by me**. My request is precisely for the **form templates** ā€” to include some kind of **language selector** , so the forms can be showed **in multiple languages**. ---

Hi, I was able to create a Multilingual dynamic form+chat using AI Builder. If I choose Hindi, then the next questions appear in Hindi. I just tested and it works well. It requires manual prompting and a lot of back-and-forth to get the right thing. ![Screenshot 2025-10-25 at 4.02.17 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/b/b9d9283b2c748eb0c6de4db85c0e62747e9b60ce.jpeg) Once I chose Hindi in the form preview, then all follow up questions appear only in Hindi and you can choose questions in any format. ![Screenshot 2025-10-25 at 4.04.34 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/b/b6674346c2f76e108d01fc57058c0261378e3201.jpeg) I hope this works. ---

Wohoaa cool! šŸ˜Ž Thanks for demoing this @abhi ! @futura What Abhi showed us here is that we can use User Input feature for form-style pickaxes to create a language selector, which will dictate future outputs of the AI. Notice how in the role section, he instructed the AI to pay attention to the user input. This is why the AI will output in the language selected by the user. Also, you can do the same in a normal chat style pickaxe by implementing sequential questioning logic - where the AI asks the user a series of questions (one of which can be what language do you prefer?); and you should get the same results. -Ned ---

That is pretty neat @abhi . Very useful. ---
