Multi language form

Hi!

Is it possible to create a multi language form?
If the answer is yes: What is easier to manage? A form with 4 languages or 4 different forms?

Thanks!

Hello entumas,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How to post information from a Chronoform to ZoHo
What are the 'Easy Form' and 'Form' Wizards?
How can I add a mask to format a form input?
How can I create a multi-page form?
How can I Upload Files in a Multi Page form?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi entumas,

Yes. Use the Locales tab to set translation strings. I prefer to use clearly identifiable strings in the Designer tab like ##name## then add ##name##=name ##name##=nom . . . in the Locales tab as this makes it much clearer what has (or hasn't) been translated.

A form with four languages.

Bob

Thanks Bod! I understand. But I need curl a little more the curl!

Each language has to send the message to a different e-mail.
This is possible?

In addition, the form has a dropdown to choose whether mail is sent to the user's country or the company headquarters.

How do I do it?

Thanks!

Hi entumas,

For translating emails please check this FAQ

For setting email addresses please see this FAQ

Bob

Thanks Bob, over the second link.
You spent this FAQ to my and I already did run the dropdown.
The dropdown has 2 options: European Customer Support / Country Customer Support
I ask is:
How this dropdown agreed with multilanguage?

Hi entumas,

What exactly is your question?

You can translate the drop-down text using Locales? To set the correct emails after the form submits you will need to use PHP in a Custom Code action.

Bob

How do I customize the code for each language?

HI entumas,

It depends, where is the information saved?

Bob

I followed the instructions you said to me before.

Hi entumas,

That is the code for setting the addresses to be used. It goes: "In the OnSubmit event I have a Custom Code action . . ."

Hello, not to hijack a thread but I've been using Joomla and WP for some time but I'm a newbie to chronoforms. I've got a contact us form setup using captcha and honeypot. It's all working but this is my first time setting up locales. I guess I'm a little mislead on what part of designer I use to setup the locales for (ru_ru and en_us) locales. Does this translation allow spaces? If I was to setup ##name## as you have mention above, would I put ##name## as the Field Name, Field ID, label? I was thinking Label? Then I setup the locales for en_us as ##name##=name and en_ru as ##name##=имя? I'm not even certain I'm setting up the locales correctly for the strings at this point.

A point in the right direction would be great as I'm sure I can get it from there. Thank you in advance!

Hi MaYHeM24,

First - only use the Locales for visible text i.e. Labels,etc. **Do Not** use locales for Field Names or IDs as that will break your form.

You can use any text you like in a Locale string including spaces and 'special' characters.

Then I setup the locales for en_us as ##name##=name and en_ru as ##name##=имя? Yes - that's correct.

Bob

Hi GreyHead, thank you for the quick response.

I setup ##Name## and ##Contact Us Page## as a labels in the designer tab.
I then went to locales and setup en_us as:
##Name##=Name
##Contact Us Page##=Contact Us Page

I then setup en_ru as:
##Name##=Имя
##Contact Us Page##=Свяжитесь с нами на странице


When I save and test the form I and it goes to the default url: site.domain.com/en/?option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=Contact-Us

The output for the first label shows: ##Name##
The second does the same: ##Contact Us Page##

Shows the same if I change the site to url: site.domain.com/ru/?option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=Contact-Us

Any suggestions or info I may post to help aid this problem?

Thank you kindly,

MaYHeM24

Hi MaYHeM24,

The problem may be with the Locale tags: please try en_gb for English* and ru_ru for Russian.

Bob

* Unless your site is set to use American English as standard which would be a bit unusual.

Hello GreyHead,

Yep, that was the culprit. I changed en_us to en_gb and it's working. Thank You.. This doesn't work for tool tips though it seems? I'm going to keep marching forward and see if I can get this finished. I did have a drop down selection box for countries which worked in the form but sent blank data in the email when submitted. I just changed it to a text box.

Thanks Again, I'll be back I'm sure..
