# Using translatable keys

You can add translatable keys for any user-facing text in your forms, including the input field labels, button labels, and rich text. After adding these keys, the text can be translated based on the user's browser settings for preferred languages.

## Steps

1. In the PingOne admin console, go to **User Experience > Forms** and select a form.

2. In the **Edit Form** section, click on a section of your form that includes text to localize.

   ### Result:

   The element's configuration settings pane opens.

3. Click the **Translation** (![An image of the universal translation icon.](_images/p1-languages-translation-icon.png)) icon.

   ### Result:

   The **Select Localized String** modal opens with a list of the available keys and their default translations.

4. Select the appropriate **Key**.

   If you're adding translatable keys for a button, the appropriate **Key** is **Button.text**, where `Submit` is the default translation.

5. (Optional) To define a unique key and default translation, select **Create New Key**.

6. Click **Select**.

   ### Result:

   A key is added to the field with the **Translation** (![An image of the universal translation icon.](_images/p1-languages-translation-icon.png)) icon.

7. (Optional) Click the key and enter a custom default translation in the **Enter Default Translation** field. Click **Save**.

## Next steps

Repeat the steps for elements in the form with user-facing text. After you have added translatable keys, you must configure which languages are enabled for translation in **User Experience > Languages**. Learn more in [Viewing languages](p1_view_languages.html).
