Title: Translation of Extra Fields
Post by: ekzact on March 30, 2007, 02:25:57

We have setup our site in French and English and the client has requested multi-lingual sign up process.  The sign up process includes a number of extra fields... as added in the admin backend.

When the language is changed from English to French the CORE sign up fields translate just nicely but unfortunately the EXTRA Fields do not...

Does anyone have a work around or fix for this... we may just put the field names in english/french for now... but appreciate your consideration and ideas.

Cheers.

David

Hi David,

This is an issue that will try to address in the next release of Elxis. It is indeed annoying to be limited by such "details".

Unfortunately it is not so simle, it is not only a translation issue. If you have set a field as required or you use a field on a user's profile then you must find a way to tell elxis that if the required field "name_english" is not used (because the user has a different than English language) to use the field "name_french" and that these two fields are equal/bind. Otherway you will brake Extra Fields functionallity.
