Translation and default language

Hi there,

So I am making a survey available in Lao and English. I have the translation columns set up, and there's no problem there, but I want to make Lao the default language.

I tried to enter Lao in the default language column in the settings tab, but that makes the drop down menu disappear so you can't choose English. I need English to be available, but the survey to open in Lao.

Thanks,

Sofia

Not sure if there is an easy way to do this.

On the device, after you open the form, you can choose an alternate
language (using the menu options while within the form).

From that point onward, this language becomes the default used when opening
this form on that device.

But that is a per-device setting.

I worked it out by putting ::English on the label column that was the not
translated lanuage. But I still can't figure out how to translate the form
title on the settings tab. I tried putting a new column called
"form_title::Lao" since it worked before. But no success, there... Any
thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks!

The form title is the one thing that is never translated.
