How to create different SharePoint forms for alternative languages
Modern SharePoint sites support large amount of languages. In your company, you might have users with different language preferences working on the same site.
Note
Make sure the desired language is available on your site, before designing a form for it.
Plumsail Forms can support multiple languages for each form with a little bit of work.

if(_spPageContextInfo.currentUICultureName === 'es-ES'){
return 'b442f350-2949-4d95-b13c-ac4063ab34e4';
}
You only need to replace ‘es-ES’ with the code of the language that you want to be supported and the ID of the Form Set can be copied at the bottom of the editor:
If you need to design a form in a language that use a right-to-left format, please see ‘Align fields to the right for Arabic, Hebrew and other languages’ article.
