OK. I think this makes sense, shouldn't be intrusive or a lot of work.

Yes. I think this is by design and not an error as such. But it looks
weird to me too.

These forms remain there until there is a change in the form, which will trigger a new download of it. So it will use the language you had set when opening data entry the first place.

>> I'm not sure if others have had this issue, but in Rwanda we have some of our forms in both French and Kinyarwanda.  We have translated all of the data elements and are using section forms.  In theory, when we use section forms rather than custom forms, the data element names should change automatically when the database language changes.

However when I go to data entry or to edit a dataset section form - I only see the names displayed in the default language.  What is strange is that one of the section forms is actually working correctly (out of about 12!).
