Translation Issue

    Hello,
    I need to write a form in Japanese – and I hit two problems.
    (1) Some fields are Required, the form then prints “Required field”. As this is not a user entry it is a text field in the code. I created a new events-made-easy-ja.mo file, uploaded it to the server. Translations are showing in the backend menu but the form still shows “Required field” (with display language Japanese). What could be the reason for this?

    (2) I have some fields with several options, chose “radio button” and entered the options (yes, no etc). That works fine. But now the options should be in Japanese as well. I entered
    [:en]Yes||No
    [:ja]はい||いいえ[:]
    as field value. This got changed to:
    [:en]Yes
    No
    [:ja]はい
    いいえ[:]
    How should I enter the 2 values in English and Japanese?

    Would be great if I could get this working.

    Best regards,
    Bernd

    Hello,

    (2) issue
    This field value worked for me:
    [:en]Yes[:ja]はい[:]
    [:en]No[:ja]いいえ[:]
    .. options of separate lines i.e. “||” don’t work.

    Best Regards,
    Bernd

    When editing a field, that is possible to do.
    Otherwise I guess this will work: [:en]Yes[:ja]はい[:]||[:en]No[:ja]いいえ[:]

    Also: I recommend to not make the values multi-language, but use the tags-field for that.
    So for value, just set e.g. “Yes||No” and for the visible tags people see “[:en]Yes[:ja]はい[:]||[:en]No[:ja]いいえ[:]”

    Yes, you’re right!
    That way the actual database value is consistent.
