Pulling the list from WP languages does not help as these are only for backend purposes to adjust time zones or such....</p> <p>In Gravity this matters highly on the frontend! For example take "Austria" - in German it's "Österreich" - no German-speaking user would ever expect that to be "Austria" in the country list. So this could become a major-trouble if this wasn't translateable correctly.</p> <p>It's also very important to have ONE UNIFIED textdomain for the plugin and not 200 hundred strings with no textdomain at all. Will cause many issues also for multilingual sites.</p> <p>-Thanx, Dave :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-do-we-need-to-translate-country-names-for-gravityform#post-43088 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 21:39:23 +0000 Ünsal Korkmaz 43088@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>btw why cant we translate dashboard widget title? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-do-we-need-to-translate-country-names-for-gravityform#post-42827 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:37:35 +0000 Carl Hancock 42827@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The only ones we could do would be the generic lists such as country, days, etc. if there is functionality in WordPress that can already return this information the way we need it.</p> <p>However, we also have to be careful not to rely on WordPress core too much because if they change something we are using this way, we have no control over it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-do-we-need-to-translate-country-names-for-gravityform#post-42809 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:40:11 +0000 Ünsal Korkmaz 42809@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Maybe we can include month, day names in this list too.

There are always hidden goodies that you run across that you realize will make your life easier.</p> <p>If there are any things such as this that you are aware of that WordPress can provide and you wanted to give us suggestions, we'd be glad to take a look at them and see if they are things that can be used to streamline things. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/why-do-we-need-to-translate-country-names-for-gravityform#post-42577 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:04:45 +0000 Ünsal Korkmaz 42577@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I checked gravityforms translation but there is lots of things that can use default wordpress language.. like country names? why dont we use default wordpress country names in gravityforms? </p>
