# Set the language of a form's buttons and messages

Your questions are in Spanish, but the buttons and error messages are still in English? You can change the language of the text Makeform adds to your form.

1. Open your form and click **Settings**.
2. Under **General**, find **Language** and choose **Español** from the dropdown.
3. Click **Save Changes** to save your choice.

This changes the built-in text your respondents see: buttons such as "Submit", and error messages such as "Please enter a valid email address."

It also changes the word "Other" on choice questions and the default thank-you message.

There are 13 languages. A form has one. It's free on every plan.

## What it doesn't change

It doesn't translate anything you wrote yourself. Your questions and options stay as they are, and so does a thank-you message you typed.

It isn't your dashboard language either. Changing the language of the Makeform app doesn't change your forms.

Makeform doesn't pick a language from the respondent's browser. Everyone sees the one you set.

If you want respondents to choose between languages, see [Translate a form](/help/guides/translate-a-form). That needs Pro or Business.
