Hi

I am porting a form that was created in CF v.4 with YooTheme's UIKit components to V5. The UIKit utilized many tokens in the design, which are translated by the Multi Language utilities in V4 when the form is rendered. For example, I would have the following in the Translation String in Multi Language:

##firstname##=First Name
##lastname##=Last Name
##email##=Your Email
##subject##=Subject
##message##=Your Message
##button##=Send Message

But there is no Multi Language utility in V5… And it is not obvious what its equivalent would be in V5 either... Any suggestions?

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,
SH

Hi studiocardo,

It's been replaced by the 'Locales' tab in CFv5.

Hi Bob

Ok, I am back to working on the form.

I found the tab, but I can't get it to work. The form still shows the strings instead.

The tab gives the user the ability to target multiple languages, and that gives me the impression that an additional setting is probably required to ask the form to pick up the target language. Where is that set?

Thx,
SH

Hi studiocardo,

As far as I know it picks up the current Joomla! language setting from the JLanguage object.

Hi SH,

I agree that it's odd to use that non-standard version :-(

There is a help text under the box that gives a hint "The 4 characters language identifier for your language, e.g: en_gb or fr_fr or de_de"
