Custom Field Language Settings

The 'Language Setting on Custom Fields enables display of content in different languages, based on the language preference of the logged in user.

Note: If a custom field does not have an entry for the selected language of the current user the English language custom field settings will be applied.

The settings that can be translated using the Language Settings vary depending on the type of Custom Field, but can include:

• Caption: The leading question or prologue before the field
• Tab Name: (Single Line or Multiple Lines text box field types) For fields to be displayed on a different "Navigation" tab. (See Tabs (Disambiguation))
• Default Text: The default text that will be displayed in the text box
• Values: (Combo Box and Check Boxes field types) The values to be used within the combo box or check boxes, delimited by a semi-colon with no spaces.

Note: It is normally vital that the StoreValue=DisplayValue syntax is used for these values. See below.

• Validation Message: The message that the user will see if the data in the field fails a validation check
• Number Format: The format in which numbers will be displayed.
• Tool Tip: Help text to be shown on mouse-over
