Add a Set Language from Job action

Use the Set Language From Job action to set the form language to the language of the job when a page loads. The language is retrieved from the Job Language property of the job.

Note For a page to display in a different language, resource files for the translated language must be available in the site; the form must already be translated. You can use the Translator interface to translate form elements. See Translate form elements.
For example, if the language property of a job is set to French, you can use the property to display a page in French in a form. Configure a Set Language From Job action so that when the page loads, it is displayed in French.
