The ChronoForms Book, written for ChronoForms v3 contains 350 pages of invaluable ChronoForms How-tos hints and tips.

Note: many of the ideas can be used in ChronoForms v4 but the admin interface is very differetn and code examples may need to be modified.

Setup a multi language form

I will show here how a multi language form can be setup quickly, you will need Chronoforms V3.1 to do this!

I created the form using the wizard and this is how it looks like just after I did

 

I will got the forms manager > check my form and click "edit" then to the Plugins tab > enable the Multi language plugin and hit save

We need now to configure the Multi language plugin, from the forms manager, check the form, click the "Multi language" under the plugins tab, now you can configure the plugin for this particular form, I will have support for 3 languages, English, French and Spanish! and will have my default form language as English!

We use the same format for setting up the languages, 2-2 letters, for example it should be ru-RU for Russian!

we will use the same order of languages at the Languages tab, so because we have written above en-GB,fr-FR,es-ES then the first 3 boxes in the Languages tab should have English then French then Spanish Translations strings!

Ok, now, we should have 3 languages installed to use the 3 languages we setup using the plugin, I have English and french only installed though, but this is for the tutorial, if you are going to use Spanish or Russian then you need these languages packs installed too, you can get them from the Joomla download site!

I set my default site language to Englsih and then try to open my form!

As you can see above, my text was trasnlated using the texts I provided earlier in the plugin config screen for the English translation!

now lets see the french version!

 

That's it, we should do the same for the Spanish or any other language too!
