How to Create a Dynamic Language List Without Using a Separate Table?

I need to create a dynamic dropdown list for languages (e.g., German, English) in a form. The key constraints are:

• ✅ I should be able to add more languages later (e.g., Hindi, Chinese, etc.).
• ❌ I cannot create a separate table to store the language list.
• ❌ I want to avoid using scripts (like Script Includes or Client Scripts) so that it's easy for other developers to maintain in the future.

Hi @PraveenS8474123,

have you installed and activated the language packages?

It's a form of internationalisation plugins

Hi @GlideFather

@PraveenS8474123 and dynamic list to what field?

If it is a choice type then you can use [sys_choice] table and then dynamically hide/display the options with client script.

It'd be on change or on load according to your exact requirement, get inspired from this post:
