To access the Custom Field Languages Setting page, edit any custom field and click on the ''Language SettingSettings'' button, found next to the Caption option.<br />:[[Image:LanguageSettingButtonInArcadiaLanguageSettingButtonInArcadia2018.png|link|650px550px|border]] The Language Settings screen has a '''Language''' drop-down, with existing translations listed separated from those languages without a translation. Select the language from the drop-down to add a new translation or edit an existing translation. :[[Image:LanguageSettingArcadia22018.png|550px|border]]

The settings that can be translated using the '''Language Settings''' vary depending on the type of Custom Field being translated.

These can include:

* '''Caption''': The leading question or prologue before the field

* '''[[Tool Tip]]''': Help text to be shown on mouse-over

''Sample of a Custom Field Language Settings page on a [[Custom Field Type: Text – Single Line|Single Line Text]] field. Note that translations can be provided for [[caption]], [[JavaScript Validation]] messages and [[Tool Tip]]s.''

Once one language setting has been defined, the Language Settings screen will include it as one of the '''Existing Translations'''.

Once one language setting has been defined, the custom field list view will show ''Add'' buttons for custom fields which do not have language settings defined, and ''Edit'' buttons for those that do. This facilitates the implementation of language settings for all custom fields.<br />[[Image:LanguageSettingsCustomFieldList.png|link=|650px]]

Language settings can also be exported from and imported to SmartSimple in [[Translation_Import/Export|XML]] format.
