Translation question

Hello,

I would like to implement a multilanguage site (French - Dutch and English).
One of my registration tab is the language.

French version choices are : Français, Anglais, Néerlandais
English version choices are : French, English, Dutch
...

When user updates his profile the value saved in the db will be Français (if french site version) or French (if english site version).

I see a problem with the search criteria. The idea is to find the member for Français AND French but it probably will depend of the current site language. Do you see what I mean ?

Thanks !

Is this a custom field you've created or the language selector provided by the user params field? If it's a custom field then you need to use defines for the values (e.g. _UE_ENGLISH).

It is not a custom field. It is a multiple checkbox field.
I used _UE variable.

Let's take an example :

User 1 uses french version and saves his profile with Country "Angleterre" --> _UE_COUNTRY01 in french version.

User 2 uses english version and saves his profile wiht Country "England" --> _UE_COUNTRY01 in english version.

If I search all member comming from "Angleterre" in french version can I find User 1 and User 2 ? Same question if I search "England" in english version ?

Thanks !

How are you searching the field? On a CB Userlist it provides them a field to select the checkbox values they want to search and they don't have to type anything in. If using Joomla search with CB Search Bot then they need to supply the actual field value (I believe translated values will work, but I can't recall for sure).

On a CB Userlist. So it should work.
I'll test it and come back to you.

Another point : Is it possible to show / hide a field based on the current language site ? Or maybe the best is to create a registration form per language and to attribute it a specific language ?

Cheers !

Is it possible to show / hide a field based on the current language site ?

Yes, use Conditional Self and select Custom Value as the field. Now supply [cb:config param="lang" /] as the Value then select Equal To as the Operator then select en-GB as the next Value; this for example conditions off the language output from Joomla against the value you input. You may want to output [cb:config param="lang" /] to a delimiter field to ensure you supply the correct value to condition with.

I don't know why you even need per language fields or tabs as you can translate everything in CB.
