The best way to do a multilingual form with Joomla 1.5?

I have to make a form on a old Joomla 1.5 in 2 languages.

What are the best way to do that?

Hi Chacapamac,

You can use the Multi Language action in the Utilities actions group to translate strings like labels. Add one action for each language then add strings like this:

##name##=name

##name##=nom

and put ##name## in the element label. This will work for most visible text in the form.

Thanks to answer me.

If I understand well…

In a “Label Text” I can put something like —> ##name##Votre Nom

and translate it in english by adding a “Multi Language action” (I guess that I put in the “OnLoad” action) with the language string “en-GB” and add here.
##name##=Your Name

Do I need to add the fr-FR Multi Language action for this to work properly?

Thanks Solved

Hi Chacapamac,

Great,

FYI - you can use any strings in there. I use the ##name## instead of just name because it avoids errors and it makes clear if any translations are missing.
