In the following chapters, we will create a new form, publish it and read the entered data.

Click OK. On the General tab, in the After the form is submitted section, choose the Display text option and enter the following value:

 

•Display text: Thank you for your registration. We will confirm it shortly by e-mail.

 

Enter the caption of the submit button:

 

•Submit button text: Register

 

Click OK.

Form text localization

 

If you need to display the form on a multi-lingual website, you can localize the field captions and other text strings using expressions like this:

 
{$myform.fullname$}
 
or
 
{$=Hello|de-de=Hallo|it-it=Ciao$}

 

You can find more details in chapter Localization Expressions.
