When editing the messages, make sure not to remove the variables. If you have removed them, you can add them again by typing “@” and choosing the option needed.
3. You can also directly select the language you need from the dropdown menu above:

How can I create a custom message set
A custom message set is a collection of personalized system messages that you can create and use for multiple forms in the future. You can create your own custom set for system messages by accessing the “Language” dropdown menu above, clicking “Custom message set”, editing it, and pressing “Apply” to save.

Once you have renamed form buttons or messages, you can set up other form settings, such as Welcome Page or Quota Settings, or proceed to share your form.
No worries! If you’re not able to find certain warning or error messages in the System Messages settings, please note that some text messages, such as month, year, and so on, will automatically appear to your users in the language their browsers are set to. So, your form will be displayed correctly in the appropriate language for each user.
If you believe there is a problem with your system messages or are unable to find the necessary setting, please contact us.
