Multi language 'required labels'

How to translate required field validation messages in ChronoForms V6 for multilingual websites.

Overview

The default required field error messages appear in English on non-English sites because the validation messages are not configured for multiple languages.
Use the Locales tab to define custom validation message strings for each language, then reference these strings in the Validation tab for each field using the locale code syntax.

Hi,

I can't find out how to handle the multi translation of the required labels which pop up when a field is not filled (like "Please enter your first name"). I have English labels in a Dutch website. Where can I change this in V6? See attachement.

Thanks a lot.

Nobody? Is there a tutorial for using V6 with more languages? Can't find it.

Thank you very much

Hello,

I'm not an expert, but you can customize error message for each field in the tab "Validation" and "Error Message" (see attachments)

Hi,

If you need multi language support then you need to define the message under the "Locales" tab then call it in the "Validation message" field using a code similar to this:
{l:validation_msg}

Under the locales tab you should define the "validation_msg" string under languages of your choice.
