Hi,

since EE does not support multiple languages registration forms, I implemented a simple (though dirty, please don’t judgde me ;) JavaScript workaround.

Let’s say I have two different languages, English and German. When Setting up a dropdown question I name it “Color / Farbe” and set the values to “Blue / Blau” and “Red / Rot”. As a result I get the following (simplified) HTML structure:

<label>Color / Farbe</label>
<select>
<option value="Blue / Blau">Blue / Blau</option>
<option value="Red / Rot">Red / Rot</option>
</select>

Now via JavaScript I check the current language and manipulate the DOM to get the following result:

<label>Color</label>
<select>
<option value="Blue / Blau">Blue</option>
<option value="Red / Rot">Red</option>
</select>

Users now only see labels and values in their language. Great. But a problem emerges, I guess, on form submit. Let’s say the user selects “Blue”: In the database the value “Blue / Blau” gets stored, which is perfectly fine but on the admin panel when looking at the attendee data, the dropdown “Color / Farbe” has no option selected.

If I turn off JavaScript everything works fine.

Do you have any idea what could cause this issue?
Thanks.
