How to translate text in text field

How to translate text in text field.
Whan a user enters for the first time his country/city in english in a multilingual site in a text field.
We need it translated when switching to other languages.
I've entered lang key and translate text in lang plugin override, but nothing happens.

Field values aren't passed through translations. You'd need to use a select field, supply all the countries, and translate the labels for the select options. CB Query Field can be used to generate a select list of countries from a custom database table as well to make things easier, but you'd still need to translate each country.

I thought that you meant I can continue using my text fields and create a non-usable select list for translations, tried it but didn't work. As I understand you meant the only way is to use the select field - but this way isn't good for me. Because....
I'm using Google Places API to generate address and fill corresponding CB text fields (country, city, street.....)
This way there is no possibility for translations of country, city, street on userprofile?

I had an idea, that I could use CB replacerbot (or CB googletranslate) for this task?

Text field values are not passed through translations. They never will be as they're user input. I guess you can use a CB Code Field and utilize PHP to pass it through our CBTxt API to translate it.

Alright. Could you please give an example, how to do that?
Something like create thousands of IF conditions in the PHP code field for each city translation?

Nope, you just need to run the string through CBTxt API. Example as follows.


CBTxt is a namespaced class so you may need to use the full path as follows, but should already be declared.
