formd

formd is a self-hosted form backend for static sites: one Go binary next to your site that accepts submissions, filters out bots without a captcha, stores them in SQLite and sends email through your SMTP server or Amazon SES.

Website with a live demo: https://formd.top

What's new: English and Polish

formd now speaks English by default and Polish on request.

  • Panel, emails to you and the CLI follow the new FORMD_LANG setting: en (default) or pl. New forms get default field labels and email texts in that language; existing forms keep their own.
  • Visitors get messages in the language of your page. formd.js reads the lang attribute nearest to the form (usually <html lang>), shows its messages in English or Polish, and passes the language to the server so that field errors match. A plain form post without JavaScript uses the browser's Accept-Language. No configuration is needed on a Polish or an English site.
  • Other languages still work through the data-formd-* attributes on the form.
  • Polish mode shows exactly the same texts as before: every English message has a Polish entry, and a test fails if one is missing.
  • The example form is now in English (examples/contact.html), with the Polish one in examples/contact.pl.html.

Upgrading from v0.2.0

The panel is now in English by default. To keep it in Polish, add this to /etc/formd/formd.env:

FORMD_LANG=pl

Then replace the binary and restart: sudo systemctl restart formd. There are no database changes. Existing forms keep their labels and email texts.

Visitor messages on Polish pages (<html lang="pl">) stay Polish. If your pages have no lang attribute, or an English one, visitors now get English messages; set lang="pl" on the page to keep Polish.
