Thanks for that. You got left/right mixed up so my final code is: <?php $side = 'sinistra' == $node->field_image_float[0]['view'] ? 'left' : 'right'; ?> <div class="blog-image" style="float:<?php print $side ?>;padding:8px;margin:5px;"><?php print $node->node_images ?></div> thanks again Neil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Jones" <fredthejonester@gmail.com> To: <support@drupal.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 12:05 PM Subject: Re: [support] How to translate a value entered in CCK field into something else on the page

I am using the following in my node-blog.tpl.php:

<div class="blog-image" style="float:<?php print $node->field_image_float[0]['view'] ?>;padding:8px;margin:5px;"><?php print $node->node_images ?></div>

and giving users the chance to float the image to the left or right. And it's working fine on my English site but now want to give the same tools to my Italian site users. I could just use "left" and "right" and explain in the help text what each of them means, but I would prefer to use the Italian words sinistra/destra and then use some conditional php to transform that into left/right on the template. Is that a complicated

If I have understood you correctly, then try this:

<?php $side = 'sinestra' == $node->field_image_float[0]['view'] ? 'right' : 'left'; ?>

and then use this:

style="float:<?php print $side ?>
