Solved SP Page Builder

Contact form: Translation of fields (multilingual).

Asked by Joonchen 4 years ago Last activity 1 year ago

Hello there,

I'm building a contact page with SPPB v3.8.7 (Joomla v4.1.5). See here: https://mariannedillmann.com/index.php/espanol/contacto. The page is set to Spanish, but the contact form fields are being shown only in English. The same happens with the contact form in German (https://mariannedillmann.com/index.php/deutsch/kontakt).

Please:

How can I translate the fields "Name", "Email", etc. to Spanish and German?
When clicking on the "Send Message" button, a short confirmation text appears. Again, only in English. How can I translate it to Spanish and German?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If I may...

With Contact form it request language phrases override as you noticed,
but if you would decide to use Form Builder addon - then you have to translate phrases inside fields. For each language different addon (clone).

Thanks Paul!

Both solutions (Rashida's and yours) are perfectly working. I'm opting for your alternative though as its a little bit easier than the Language Overrides. Anyway, THANKS to both of you!

Much appreciated.

Cheers.

Hello,
I'm using version 5.5.1 of SP Page Builder for a French site.
The send button is marked “Send a message”.
The translation string is “Envoyer le message”!
I forced the substitution but it's still the same, even though the other items are in French Nom (name) Sujet.
The override works for the phone...
What can I do?
Sincerely
