When translating [[Combo Box]] or [[Check Boxes]] custom fields it is important to use the ''StoreValue=DisplayValue'' technique to ensure that the value stored to the database is the same, regardless of what language is being displayed to the user entering the values. If this technique is not used the values stored in one language will not be correlated to other languages. This will lead to loss of data or inconsistent data.

If you want the value stored in the field to be different from what is displayed in the combo box you can use the following syntax in the Values section: StoreValue1=DisplayValue1;StoreValue2=DisplayValue2;StoreValue3=DisplayValue3;The value before the equal sign will be stored. The value after the equal sign is what will be displayed in the combo box (or check boxes), but does not get saved. {{StoredValue}}

When using this technique for translating custom field values there are 2 possible approaches:
