    Dear Friends, Good Morning.
    Please ... I want to buy a Developer Licence BUT ... I can only do this if I am sure I can make MULTILANGUAGE forms. On my wordpress site, I use qTranslate in order to translate content. But I didn't find out how to use GravityForms in order to make a form in different language. Could You explain it to me, please ?? Another annotation: I need forms will be able to show UTF8 codifications. I mean, that I need to have forms in latin character AND in Russian, Chinese, Arabic Alphabet As Well {and all the other ... hind, for instance, will be the next step} ...
    Thank You for help.

  2. Hi, Pietro,

    By default Gravity Forms uses the language of your WordPress site if we have a translation file for it. If there is no translation file the text is in US English. We currently have translation files for the following languages:

    Brazilian Portuguese
    Dutch
    French
    German
    Italian
    Norwegian
    Spanish (update: unfortunately the Spanish version is not acceptable for public release and is not included in Gravity Forms; there are German words mixed in)

    We can provide you with a .po file so you can make a translation file for a language we do not currently have.

    Languages cannot be specified per form, but you can enter the text you want for the field labels and instructions that show on the front-end; the backend admin would still be in the language of your WordPress site. There are some complex form fields with sub-labels that you can use Gravity Forms hooks to overwrite the default text.

    If you need your forms to be in a different language than the site, there is a WordPress hook (plugin_locale) that can be used to change the language just for Gravity Forms. This would apply to all Gravity forms and the admin.

    As far Latin, Chinese, etc. characters, I believe if your WordPress site handles them correctly, Gravity Forms will as well.

    Let me know if you have questions.

    "By default Gravity Forms uses the language of your WordPress site if we have a translation file for it" ... Yes, I did notice this !! And this is great ^_^ Unfortunatly, I didn't try yet with all languages but only with english and italian ... If I could have the .po file ... it could be nice; then I will try to translate every thing ... ^_^ Thank You

  5. I have sent you an email with some translation files to the address associated with your account.

    You mentioned registration forms, if you are having problems and need our help, can you open a new forum post so we can keep this one specific to the language question?

    Thanks.

  8. Hi, caroig,

    I found out that the Spanish version we had been given isn't any good, there are actually a lot of German words in it, so we do NOT have a version translated in Spanish. That is why it is not included in with the Gravity Forms releases. If someone would like to create a version translated into Spanish, that would be great.
