trying to use php to create multi-lingual CCK select lists
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
I guess you should call the global language variable too. Why don't you use the t function to translate the options? Neil: esl-lounge.com wrote:

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zohar Stolar" <z.stolar@gmail.com> To: <support@drupal.org> Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 10:09 PM Subject: Re: [support] trying to use php to create multi-lingual CCK select lists
