Re: [Ledger-smb-users] Translate form dropdown fields?

Hi Steven,

Is it possible to translate the values in the form fields for Ledgersmb
> 1.3.x.  For example, in the Country field on the AR/Customers/Add Customer

Yes, translation is possible, however not through the .po files.

Exactly and that's the solution. You should go to the menu "System" ->
Languages -> Edit Language. There you can change the description to
whatever you want it to be.

None. The field presented changes, that's all.

These should actually have been translated through the .po file. If they're
not, it could be that the .po file is missing translations. If it doesn't,
then we would benefit from having a listing of all screens which have been
insufficiently prepared for translation (I use the English setup myself).
We can go about fixing the strings which can't be translated yet.

Let's start with reporting some of your translation issues here on the
mailing list. If we can't fix it quickly for some reason, we should move
the reports to the bug tracker.

Bye,

Erik.
