Summary	3487: Translatable list fields
Description	Make it so that list field options are translatable. Make it so that when a list option is entered, it stores the position rather than the literal text. Make rendering of the list fields dereference the correct text for the list position. If a list is edited, reindex all currently stored list positions against the new list ordering. Give error if already selected list options (for existing entries) no longer represent an option in the list, allowing the editor to remap these to a different list option, or erase them, or go back and edit the list again.
Additional Information	"Editing a catalogue in French and I attempted to change the list options defined in English to their French counterparts. Switching back to English I see the French terms."

Chris Graham 2018-01-18 14:18 administrator ~5363	I'm afraid we can't support translated list fields. The list options aren't translated, and the selection is stored by the literal selected string (in English or whatever) rather than a list position. It would be a lot of work to change that. I'll keep the issue open for that possibility though.

Adam Edington 2018-01-18 14:42 administrator ~5364	This is why I tried using language files (forum post) but that doesn't seem to be working out either :P Not sure how to tackle this when everything else is translated to French/German except these 'values chosen from a list'.

Chris Graham 2018-01-18 17:19 administrator ~5366	Ok, as discussed in topic, using Comcode (technically Tempcode) instantiations of a language string for each of the list options is good workaround.

Adam Edington 2018-01-18 20:30 administrator ~5368	Yes, that will suffice if it saves you 16 hours of coding ;)
