# Translating a survey (Localization)

By default, your survey language will be the one used to build your survey. [Learn more ](https://docs.pristo.io/manager/change-language)about changing Pristo's language.

To add a language translation to your survey:

1. After building your survey, navigate to the **Localizations** from the left menu.
2. At the top left, click on  <img src="https://1897479074-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgKjZGUaiXhnKBdODwHHP%2Fuploads%2FAkfPAM7xNFej15Ozd6IS%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=abf62af6-31cf-4c13-aba4-a31ffcce09d3" alt="" data-size="line">to add a new localization.
3. Inside the translation window, choose a language to translate to from the dropdown menu.

Once you add a translation to the survey, your user will be able to change the survey to that language. You can also see the new translation in the [**Preview** ](https://docs.pristo.io/form-builder/previewing-your-survey)window.
