Basic Language question

Hello,
I have a Spanish site where I put a contact form. Some fields have a Spanish Validation Message, e.g. "introduzca un email válido" which means "Enter a valid email".

The problem is that I have the phone field as required and "only numbers" with a validation message in Spanish, but when I test the field, entering alphabetic content, instead of the validation message in Spanish, the message appears in English.

The second problem is how to translate the first entry in a dropdown box, which reads "Choose Option"

Thank you very much.

Hi Amarin,

you need to use the multi language plugin to translate these messages!

Hi Max

This does not work for

The second problem is how to translate the first entry in a dropdown box, which reads "Choose Option"

since the phrase "Choose option" is hardcoded in the files
/components/com_chronocontact/themes/default/elements.php
and
/components/com_chronocontact/themes/theme1/elements.php

Or do I see this wrong?

Because I can create a "Choose option" with the wizard when creating or editing a dropdown field, the entry
<option value="">Choose Option</option>
should be removed from elements.php in my opinion.
Of course I can remove it, but once I do an update it will be back unless I remove it again...

Maybe it would be better not to include hardcoded messages? Just a thougth... ;-)
