Hello,

Is it possible to make the Labels for the Values in a field created as a Check Box (Multiple) multilingual?
I have tried using [cb:userdata field="FIELD_NAME" /], [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /], [FIELD_NAME], and simply FIELD_NAME, but in all cases, the input values are displayed as plain text without referring to the language files.

Thanks

Yes, you need to use [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] so the field will be processed and output normally. [FIELD_NAME] and [cb:userdata field="FIELD_NAME" /] output raw database values so they won't translate. Be sure your language keys exist in every language plugin you have installed (including Default).

I have already been using 
Code:
[cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /]
 elsewhere, and I have confirmed that it is working in my environment. However, the Label in the Value section of the Check Box (Multiple) are not functioning as expected. FIELD_NAME has been confirmed to exist in the language file. Please check it.

Here is my environment:
  • Joomla 5.0.3
  • Community Builder 2.9.1+build.2023.12.19.18.36.55.b65c99514
  • MySQL 8.0.36
  • PHP 8.2.17
  • utf8mb4_unicode_ci

Substitutions are not supported in option fields label parameter. You need to use a language key there not a substitution for it to be multilingual. Example as follows.

Option
Value: 1
Label: VALUE_1

Language Override
Key: VALUE_1
String: Value 1

Strange fact. As I mentioned at the beginning, I initially tried FIELD_NAME. It did not work as expected.
Today I tried again and FIELD_NAME works. (My issue did not exist!)

I have wasted your time needlessly. My apologies.
Thank you for your support.
