# Languages and Translations

#### Forms and Data Collection

You are welcome to use any UTF-8 language for your forms. This flexibility allows you to create and manage forms in a wide range of languages.

#### Mobile App User Interface

The user interface (UI) of the mobile app has been translated into the following languages:

* **English**
* **Italian**
* **French**
* **Spanish**
* **Polish**
* **Portuguese**
* **Catalan**

If you are using a language other than the ones listed above, please note the following:

* **Form Questions**: The questions and content within your forms will be displayed in the language you have selected.
* **UI Elements**: Despite the form translations, the buttons, labels, and other UI elements of the mobile app will still appear in English.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The app's language is not manually set. If your phone uses a language other than English and a translation is available, the app's UI will automatically display in that language. Please note that only the app's buttons and labels will be translated; your forms and questions will remain in the language you originally wrote them in. 
{% endhint %}

#### Contributing Translations

If you notice that your preferred language is not yet supported in the mobile app or if you would like to contribute translations for a missing language, we welcome your contributions!

#### Where to Find Language Files

To access and translate the language files for the mobile app, [**please visit this repository**](https://github.com/epicollect5/epicollect5-language-files). The files are organized and available for you to translate into your desired language, and instructions are provided.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.epicollect.net/formbuilder/languages-and-translations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
