Steve & Tobin- There is no build-in way to localize a form beyond the translations tag. I don't know if anyone has come up with any creative solutions. If you have an idea of how you'd like it to work, go ahead and enter a ticket as a feature request...
I believe here at PIH when we've needed to have a form in multiple languages, we've either created multiple versions of the form, or included both languages side-by-side on the form. To Tobin's question, you are able to change your locale using the links in the OpenMRS footer. This should change the language within the form... if it doesn't, this is bug.

I realize that I can use the translations tag at the top of my form, but this really clutters up the html due to the number of labels. Is it possible to store the labels in separate properties files for each language, and reference them in the HTMLForm? I also need a more flexible way to retrieve the labels (other than using obs labelcode), because the labels are not always tied to an observation. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
