Recently I created an Add-on for Google Slides that will make a copy of your slides into another language. Slides to Spanish+ helps you with your Google Slides, but what about Google Forms? You are also going to want to be translating your Google Form. I have added a feature to Quiz Helper Add-on for Google Forms that will help!
Translating Your Google Form
Built into Google Docs you can translate your document by using the Tools menu. Google Docs allow you to select a language and a copy of your Google Doc is created. Slides to Spanish+ Add-on for Google Slides also makes a copy of your slides.
However, you probably do NOT want a separate Google Form for each language you need to support.
Translating Your Google Form to Multiple Languages
The purpose of a Google Form is to collect data. You do not want to have your data scattered into multiple forms. Instead of making a copy of the Google Form I have added translating your Google Form questions into the description of each question. Quiz Helper by Alice Keeler collects no user data and allows you to select multiple languages for translating your Google Form.
Using Quiz Helper in Google Forms
Quiz Helper is an Add-on for Google Forms. Access it by selecting the puzzle piece icon after installing.
Quiz Helper helps you set up your Google Form quickly to use as a quiz. It sets the quiz feature, adds a question for first name and last name. Adds a section to separate the demographic questions from the quiz questions. Shuffles the quiz questions. And more! Additionally, Quiz Helper lets you create feedback reports and send them to students.

Form Printer sends Form to Google Docs to allow you to customize how your Form looks. Option to print responses to a Google Doc thus allowing you to save paper and have more control over what is printed.
Additional Feature to Manage Translation
Using Google Translate I have added a feature to Quiz Helper to translate the questions into selected languages. Show the translation sidebar to choose from the list of languages supported by Google Translate.
Checkbox the Languages
Checkbox multiple languages. Select as many as you want. Each question will be translated into the selected languages.
The translations will be appended into the description of each question.
Note: multiple choice options are not translated at this time.
Adding question translation to the description allows you to utilize the same Form, thus allowing for data collection in the same Form.
Translating Responses
If the form is filled out in another language the form will capture the input as it is submitted. However, when you link your Google Form to a spreadsheet you can use the formula =GOOGLETRANSLATE() to translate the responses.
