Hello @GDavila09,
Go to project seetings / manage translations and check if the language code is correct (international 2-letter standard).

Step 1:

Step 2:

If you don’t see the language you are looking for then you could join to be a volunteer to translate the language you are seeking:

Your volunteering could help KoboToolbox reach out to more users with the language they use.

There are two levels.

  1. Kal_Lam showed the (overall) KoBo account level.
  2. I was addressing the project (form) level

Important is the correct international 2-letter language code here (en - for Spanish)… See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1

The language name is the one you use in your form, esp. for ::language specifications. So it might be e.g. Español or Spanish in your case. If your form has multiple languages, this is the name a user will see in the language choice list (on top of the form)

Your form should than appear with Spanish system buttons (and system messages) like this
