[SOLVED] Translate Drop-down field content

Hi,

I'm very new to Community Builder so excuse me if my question seems to be idiot.
I'm trying to translate the differents items of a CB Drop down list. I try to put Override keywords in my dorpdown but it does not work. Is there a way to do it ?

Use a language key for the label inputs like MYFIELD_OPTION_TEST and then add language overrides for that language key as follows.

Key: MYFIELD_OPTION_TEST
String: Test

You don't have to use a language key, but it does make it a lot easier. So for example if the label is set to Test you can translate it directly as follows without a language key.

Key: Test
String: Test 123

Ok, thanks. But i think i am doing something wrong because it does not work :
1 - I set up my languages in Joomla as usual (language filter module, language plugins, Homes for each language..
2 - i create a CB drop down single select field
3 - in "title" i write "CB_OU"
4 - i create language overrides for "CB_OU" in each language
5 - i create several value / label for my dropdown :
0 / MANGE_DE_TOUT
1 / NOURRITURE_SAINE
2 / DIET
6 - For each label i create language overrides in each language

But it does not work... The field title and the dorpdown labels are not translated... Could you help me ?

CB is not translated by Joomla language plugins in any way. Nor do Joomla language overrides work in CB. You need a CB language plugin for the language you're using in Joomla. You can find several, community driven, language plugins below.

As for CB language overrides see the below.

Hi,

Thank you very mutch, I understand now how translation work in CB.
I want now to find the API function to translate overrides Keys (i'm writting a component). I didn't find any documentation about the API, is there any ?

Run your string through CBTxt and it will translate. The API can be used as follows.

Key Only:
String Only:
Key and Sting:
With Replacements:
It's a namespaced PHP class. One CB API has been loaded as per documentation below you should be able to utilize it fine.

If unsure what a namespaced PHP class is please research carefully and be used to use an IDE with auto complete to help path to the class.
