Forums

Hi!

I am using chronoforms for a 2-language based website. I have created 3 forms, and I am trying to use the multi-language utility but can't seem to make it work.

I have followed the instructions that I found in the forum (languages support: es-ES, ca-ES and default language ca-ES), and after that tried to translate in the next screen using "text to translate=translated text". But it doesn't seem to work.

I am trying to translate basically the system messages, such as "This field is required", but I have entered "This field is required=translation" and it doesn't work at all.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to do anything else?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Nissy,

Unfortunately, I do not know how to translate these strings either since they are part of the script itself and not necessarily a string.

Perhaps someone else will be able to tell us this. Good thing to know!

Hi Nissy,

The only way to do this is to setup a custom validation message per field like "REQUIRED MESSAGE" and then translate this, you can setup the custom validation message in the wizard or by adding title tags to your form fields in HTML, for example you have a required email field, set the title to "EMAIL MESSAGE", now at the multi language config, use
en-GB
EMAIL MESSAGE=please write a correct email
es-ES
EMAIL MESSAGE=por favor escribir ... etc

Cheers
