# How to have different languages for your emails and Collect portal

If you want to provide your clients with a fully localised experience — including the portal content, forms, and email notifications — you can set up **different language versions** using **Brandings** and **separate campaigns**.

## How language works in Collect

The **language of your portal and emails** is determined by the **Branding** assigned to the campaign. Each branding includes language-specific settings for:
* Portal labels and system text    
* Email content (follow-ups, reminders, etc.)    
* Button text and instructions

Because of this, if you're working with clients in multiple languages, you'll need to create a **separate campaign for each language**.

## Step-by-step: Setting up multi-language campaigns

Here’s how to create campaigns in multiple languages with minimal effort:

### 1. Create your campaign in the first language

Start by building your full campaign in the primary language (e.g., **French**).  
Add all your portal elements — forms, documents, tasks, and pages — and make sure it’s complete.

### 2. Duplicate the campaign

Once your first campaign is ready, **duplicate it** to reuse the same structure.  
This avoids having to manually recreate each element from scratch.

### 3. Translate the content

Go through the duplicated campaign and update all text content to the second language (e.g., **English**):
* Headline and side note 
* Form questions and instructions  
* Task labels
* Text blocks    
* Email templates

### 4. Assign the appropriate Branding

Switch the branding of the translated campaign to match the **target language** (e.g., a Branding set to English). This will ensure system messages and emails are in the correct language.

## Repeat for additional languages

You can repeat this process for as many languages as you need. Each translated campaign will:
* Use the same structure and logic    
* Be fully localised for a specific audience    
* Maintain consistent formatting and branding

Using this duplication method helps you save time, reduce errors, and deliver a tailored experience to every client — no matter their language.
