Where is the error?😟

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi raab,

The language strings are case-sensitive. Please try Title=title

Or better, use distinctive strings like ##title## so that you can clearly see where the translations are missing.

HI Raab,

Ah, your language tags are incorrect. Max uses a non-standard eg_gb - see the Help text under the box.

Please test the form using the "Test form" button, does it work ? try to clear your website cache ?

en_gb should work only when some user selects the en_gb language on frontend and if your site has this language installed.

Yes, i did

I have just tested this and it works fine, do you have the latest update installed ?

You may attach a backup of your form here OR you may attach a new simple test form.

There is also a demo multi language form included in the installer which you can test.

Max
