How can I use the t function to translate? If I put them into the Allowed Values field, they show up in the drop down. I tried it with one and my drop down became

<?php print t('Collecting') ?> Watching TV Family activites Fishing

How can I use t strings in CCK fields without them showing up?

thanks

Neil

I guess you should call the global language variable too. Why don't you use the t function to translate the options?

I want a drop down "Hobbies" list in my node profile that I'm using CCK to create.

Unfortunately, I discovered that "Manage Strings" in Localization can't help me to translate that select list, so now I'm looking at using PHP in the Allowed Values section.

So far I have this:

global $user; $HobbiesEnglish = array (1 => One, 2 => Two, 3 => Three, 4 => Four); $HobbiesItaliano = array (1 => Uno, 2 => Due, 3 => Tre, 4 => Quattro); if ($Language->language == "it") { return $HobbiesItaliano; } else { return $HobbiesEnglish; }

Just trying to get the English and Italian numbers showing up before going the whole hog! The language conditional statement is working fine on another part of the site, but I can only get the English numbers appearing for now.

thanks in advance

Neil
