Description
Form questions may need to be translated into multiple languages.
Actual behaviour
There is just one text field to enter the question. The form becomes unwieldy when questions are lengthy, and have been translated into many languages.
Expected behaviour
If the form creator has enabled multilingual questions for the form, the form creator can translate each question into multiple languages. The end user filling out the form could first choose their language, and then questions are presented in that language. Answers for all translations are stored in the same field as the original version.

Research direction
The issue identifies multilingual question entry, language selection, translated rendering, and shared answer storage, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the form-question editor and respondent view, then determine the existing question storage and language-handling paths; done means enabled forms support translated questions while preserving answers in the original field.
