Different form for different language

No. If you want this approach (like Joomla core) then you even have to create 2 different sections and 2 different menu items. SO when user is on one language he se link to one language section and on the other language to the other section. ANd of course every section refer to different type.

Or you can simple translate form. Almost everything is translatable as I mentioned in Joomla language overrides..

I see... i will have only to lookup what labels are used to translate.

thanks

So if I would like a form translated, I should just use Joomla language override for all the fields, I take it?

Hi Michael.

There are 2 possibilities:

1 - Force the user to set his language on Joomla edit profile link, but most users don't use that link to change language. Let's not forget we are talking about end-users with no knowledge that they can even change the language in edit profile link.

For this i tried to find a solution to embed the "change your language" dropdown into the register form, but without success.

For this you method you can use Joomla override.

2 - The method i use. Installed Falang and downloaded Mintjoomla Cobalt elements. It will help translate Cobalt sections, types and fields.

There are 2 Good thing about Falang.

If you have your site in English with option to translate to Portuguese and Spanish, when i press the spanish flag it translates. I close the browser and when visiting your site, it appears already in spanish, so it remembers the option cookie-based.

Another good thing is that it does not only translate the elements but when you press the flag it also looks up for the correspond language files in /language folder.

I noticed because i use bt-login which has no Falang elements so they cannot be translated on the backend... but i have the bt-login-pt and bt-login-en in /language folder and it changes the language.
