[SOLVED] Translation of drop down list in user fields

Hi All,
we have a "Title" user field that is a drop down.
We would like to have this drop down translated in every language of the site.

Is this possible ?
How ?

Thank you,
Nicolas

Yes, use language strings to translate a fields value. See your CB documentation regarding language string and translation usage, which you can download from the Advanced downloads section. Please also see the below language place for additional resources.

Hi,
Ok that is what we did.
But I had another problem afterwards.

I have an auto-action to send the registration email.
(Because I need HTML emails..).

So I try to get my field Title (cb_titre) in an email auto-action.

Whith tghis HTML :

"Bonjour [cb_titre] [name],"

And here I get (in the sent email) the field value as a language string, and not as the translated value.
And no "PHP way" to force the "translation" of the string.

So this was OK before using language strings, language strings are OK everywhere but there.
So i wanted to knopw if it was at the begining that I did a bad choice. It seems that it is just in the way I deal with my auto-action...

Is my problem clear ?
How do you think I coud deal with this ?

Thank you for your support,
Nicolas

I add some infos because there is a hidden question in my previous question.


What is the good procedure to create an auto action with both field and translations (and also HTML Tags) ?

By example :

How to deal with translations for such an HTML in autoaction (you will recognised some of your code..) :

<a href="[cb:config param="live_site" /]/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=confirm&confirmcode=[cbactivation]&Itemid=101" title="Cliquez et découvrez" style="color:#fff; background:#ac84bb; width:643px; height:30px; text-align:center; display:block; text-decoration:none;padding-top:12px; text-transform:uppercase;">Cliquez et découvrez</a>

Emails will always send in the language of the user triggering the email. It will not send in the language of the user receiving the email. I've no idea what trigger you're acting on so I've no idea who is triggering the email action. If the user is not logged in with the email action is trigger then it'll send as the default site language. Ensure all your language plugins have your strings translated.

You'd need to add a translation for that entire string. The below is a good way to do this.

Hi Kyle,

I did that but I still hav a problem with lists translations in the auto-action.

I have a Title cb field (cb_titre) that is a translated list
I have (in french) :
_TITLE_MR = 'Mr'
_TITLE_MME='Mme'

When people subscribe, no problem, fields are well translated on the select list.
Then I have an auto-action (email, onAfterUserRegistration) to send the registration email.
Is you said, I used translation to translate those emails.

So I have a part where I would like to add the title.
So I have an HTML part that is :
<p style="color:#ac84bb;">Bonjour [cb_titre] [name],</p>


In the email I reveive, I receive :
<p style="color:#ac84bb;">Bonjour _TITLE_MR de La Fortelle,</p>
<p style="color:#ac84bb;">Bonjour Mr de La Fortelle,</p>

How could I correct that ?
Thank you,
Nicolas
