Dear community.
I want to make an online survey. Not all of the respondents can understand English, I have changed the language but for error massage it is still in English. How to change it?
Hi @akoh,
Kindly please be informed that some error message are system controlled while others can be controlled by the user at the user’s end.
The error message you have shared in the screenshot is a required_message which can be controlled as outlined in the image shared below:

Hello,
you should also be able to use the ::language option as with other messages. Make sure to give a msg::language for all your languages.

Hello,
As far as know the Alert message is a system message, which you cannot directly adapt/translate. You can only use another system language by switching in the General settings >> User Interface >> Language.
