I have a standard record producer built many years ago just in English. I need it to work in French but some of the fields are custom and the select box values are in English. I have had them translated to French, but I am not sure how to have them added and how to get them to be available for the French users. I have enabled the French plugin. I was thinking of created a new record producer for the French user and direct them to it upon login. Not sure what is the best practice is here.
thanks - Jim

Well, then the question is: do you want to have all options in French too, or do you want to have 32 options for users choosing English as their UI language and 2 options for those choosing French.
If you want to have the same amount of choices in both languages, you should just define all remaining values with French labels too. As you start defining those French labels for existing not-yet-translated values, you should see that the English counterpart will disappear from the list. E.g. if you add the French translation for Drum, the English choice should no longer show up when switching to French. A.s.o.

Hello Jim,
If select box values are normal question choices then follow below article to translate them.

If it is pointing to some table then let me know. No need to create new Item for french users

Yes, it is because you have translated 'Value' as well, 'Value' is nothing but backend name so no need to translate this.
Example :
For english
Label : Work in Progress
Value : 1
For French:
Label : Travail en cours
Value : 1
You see Value is backend name so no translation text is required ok
Just give a try
If Query is addressed mark my answer as correct and close the thread
