Record producer select box show different values based on user language.

Jim Calhoun · ‎05-20-2022

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.

Also if I have English as the language I only see English choices (no French), but if I have French as the language I see all English choices and all French choices.

As Janos said, you must have created duplicates with translated 'Values' as well, Do one thing, delete all entries of french and follow what I said, do it for one Entry if works fine then do for others.

Please hit like and mark my response as correct if that helps

Most likely the record has been saved with value "Ceinture". In case of Choices the current value + the normal list is displayed. Even if the current value is no longer in the "normal list".

It would be easy to test. Save the record with Clean & Inspect selected and upon reload the fr option should no longer be there - that is if the current language is en.

Also it does not seem to me that you see all French values, just two.

Could you share the choices as a list view?

still seeing both. first screen shot is some of the choices and the second if from the record producer record with French as the language.

Does the choice field have any attributes? If so can you paste those here? You need to switch to Advanced view of the dictionary form to access field Attributes. While Attributes are also shown as a related list, not all attributes are there.
