Hi from France,
Somes questions before buy a developper licence
- Is it possible to translate Gravity in french?
- Is it possible to modified or create Advanced Fields
For exemple in france we do not have state but departments. 99 in fact. I do not want to create each time a dropdow with 99 entries
- Is it possible to create dropdown with a value different than the content text?
<option value="Milk">Fresh Milk</option>
Thank's
Hello,
- Yes it is possible to translate Gravity Forms into french. Gravity Forms is localized using mo/po files like WordPress. You would have to use a po editor to create the necessary translation files.
- Address Field labels (City, State, etc.) can be modified using a built in hook. It requires you to place code in your themes functions.php file in order to use a filter to change the labels. See this thread:
- Right now it is not possible to create a drop down with a value different than the content text. But we do plan on adding this feature in an upcoming release.
Hello
Thank's Carl.
I buy a developer licence today with my professional email that's why you don't see aour.
I prefer do not use hook. I will create adress block with new field.
It will be interesting to use the country advanced field alone.
And create new advanced field like department.
Regards
Yea, you can recreate the address fields using standard fields if you want to.
Adding a country field as a standalone field is a good idea and I will look into doing just that.
There's no way to reorder the fields in the admin at the moment, but you can quickly change the layout with a little CSS tweaking.
You'll just need to view the source, and get the actual span id's from your form and replace those in my example.
The CSS snippet above simply hides the state/region field from view. This won't work though if you have the address field set to required since the field is still in the markup and will try to validate.
I'm sure we can come up with a filter or something you can add to your functions page that will actually remove the field if you do need that.
We are always looking for ways to make the advanced fields more configurable so we will take a look at this. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm looking for a french translation too, but i can't find it.
I plan to try to translate some content but in the languages folder I just see a "gravityforms.pot" file but not the "gravityforms.mo" file .
how can i proceed to edit the gravityforms.pot?
thanks
We would love a French translation of Gravity Forms. In order to translate the plugin you will need a PO editor that will read in the gravityforms.pot file and then allow you to translate it. It will then generate language specific PO and MO files for the new translation.
You can find some information on translating plugins in these articles:

If you can put together a French Translation and send it over we can make it available to all users.
Thanks.
I will try to began a translation. It will take some time.
What exactly are you looking at doing? If it is just a matter of renaming the sub-labels, they can be done via some hooks.
You can check out this thread to see how you can use a filter to change the sub-labels of the advanced fields:

Thanks. Now looks much better. Although I gather that next time i change the theme I need to change functions.php again. Hope for next updated version of your forms we will have more options to make changes without changing actual themes. But this will do for now.
