Change language for custom fields

Hi,
I would like my custom fields to change language when the user do. I can't find that this is possible, is it?

Thanks for the help but I don't think I understand. Could you give a short example what I shall do when I have a custom field?

Thanks /A

You define a file called custom_strings_inc.php and put that into the root folder of Mantis.

Then you can define your custom text like this:

<?php

if ( lang_get_current() == 'swedish' ) {
$s_rejected_bug_title = 'Avvisa Ã¤rende';
} else {
# English
$s_rejected_bug_title = 'Reject issue';
}

?>

I hope that helps.

Yes I think I got that part but how do I get my custom field named "Start date" to "understand" that it should pick its translation from
$s_start_date='Start datum' in custom_strings_inc.php?? Can't understand that connection...

Henrik gissar att du Ã¤r svensk sÃ¥ om du har en fÃ¶rklaring fÃ¥r du gÃ¤rna ta den pÃ¥ svenska :)

Rename the custom field to "start_date", then have it localised as follows:

English: $s_start_date = "Start Date";
German: $s_start_date = "xxx";
Italian: $s_start_date = "yyy";

By the way, $s_start_date is probably going to be used by Mantis original strings, so you can benefit from the already existing translation. If that is not what you want, then change the name to "custom_start_date" or "my_start_date" or whatever you like.

Is there some way to change language for categories?

Hopeful.../Ann

At the moment the categories can not be localised.
