Let every signer read it in their own language
A signer who can't read the page is a signer who calls you, or doesn't sign. SignMaster shows the signing page, the emails and the e-signature consent in 6 languages, so people understand what they're being asked to do before they sign.

The languages
- English
- Spanish
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- French
- Vietnamese
- Chinese (Simplified)
What's translated
- The signing page: buttons, field prompts, the guided steps and the messages along the way.
- The emails: the invitation, reminders and the completed-copy email.
- The e-signature disclosure and consent the signer agrees to before signing.
- Access code screens, when you protect a document with a code.
- Public signing links, which follow the visitor's browser language.
- In-person signing, including the handover and handback screens.
What stays as you wrote it
Your document. SignMaster translates everything around the document, not the document itself. If a customer needs the contract in Spanish, upload the Spanish version as its own template. Labels you type on fields stay as you wrote them, and your side of SignMaster and the certificate of completion stay in English.
One limit for now: the signed PDF can't print Chinese characters yet, so names and typed answers in Chinese can't be used. Chinese-speaking signers still get the signing page, emails and consent in Simplified Chinese.
Selling in another language?
Some rules tie the language of the contract to the language of your sales pitch. The roofers page explains the FTC's door-to-door rule.
How the language is chosen
- 1
You set it per signer
When you prepare an envelope (one send: one or more documents going to one or more signers), pick each signer's language in the sending options. A Spanish-speaking homeowner and an English-speaking co-owner can sign the same envelope.
- 2
The signer can switch
A language switch on the signing page changes it at any time. The choice is saved on the signer, so their reminders, access codes and completed copy arrive in that language too.
- 3
Public links read the browser
Someone opening a public signing link sees it in their browser's language when it's one of the 6, and English otherwise.
If you don't set a language, signers start in English and can switch on the first screen. Setting it up front means the invitation, the very first email they get, already arrives in their language, before they've clicked anything.
Who it helps
Contractors with Spanish-speaking customers, like roofers and landscapers. Property managers with tenants who read Spanish or Vietnamese. Freelancers with clients in Brazil or France. Anyone whose customers sign more confidently in their first language.
