Where are the front end language files please?

jzlcdh 27 Mar, 2014
I can see the back end messages in .....administrator/components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/locales/en_gb
but where are the language files for the front end messages please e.g. "This field is required" Please enter a valid email.

By the way I already paid my subscription and I do not need to translate the back end but you might consider offering a free or discounted subscription for full translations.

Hi jzlcdh,

If your site is single language then you can over-ride the validation messages using the Title Attribute of each input. If it's multiple language then you can over-ride again using Locales.

You could also hack the core files in /libraries/cegcore/assets/gvalidation/gvalidation.js but you'd need to re-do this when CF is upgraded.

Hi Bob,

My site only has a small form on it. At the moment it is monolingual but I will almost certainly add English in 2 or 3 weeks time. Any chance of a front end language file in your next mini-release and if so when might that be?

I guess the choice of which of the above methods to try will depend on the answer to that question.

Hi Geoff,

Just add translatable strings in the "Title" field as Bob suggested then translate them under the "Locales" tab, so for example write REQUIRED in the "Title" and under the "Locales":
REQUIRED=Required
or translate it in any language.
