[SOLVED] Multi-lingual form fields

[SOLVED] Multi-lingual form fields was created by hawkeyedesign
I have an odd query - basically we setup a community for DE users, and setup some custom fields with DE language titles (e.g. 'Unternehmen' for company name).

I now need to create an EN version of the form, and whilst I can translate fields easily using the built-in translation tags (e.g. _UE_YOUR_FNAME), I'm unsure how to approach the field mentioned without breaking existing database tables.

To clarify - I need to have an EN version of the form showing the field as 'Company Name' rather than 'Unternehmen'.

Any ideas?

Edit the default language plugin and add an override for the field title as follows.

Key: Unternehmen
Text: Company Name

You can also just change the field title to a non-language specific key like FIELD_COMPANY_NAME and override it in both your language plugins as needed.
