Hello, Thanks, and Question: How to Override InputFiueld error message

[fmquaglia]

Hello Ryan and the rest of the community!

Finally I've made room in my schedule to give a try to processwire!

I found it reading a blog, and thought immediately after seeing ryan's screencasts "man, this is sweet!"

Unfortunatelly I work hard in another technology stack than php/mysql, and didn't gert the time 'til now to give it a try.

A friend of mine asked me to make a very simple prtfolio page for him, and immediately I thought "this is the time to get started with processwire"

And what can I say?

Is freaking awesome so far!

So intuitive, so simple yet powerful.

And I'm just in the surface!!!

I'm excited to see how far I can get.

So, many many thanks to Ryan and the rest of the communitiy!

I don't get this kind of dev-joy often...

Now to my question...

I am using the FormTemplateProcessor module to render a very very simple contact form.

The usual stuff, name, email, message, submit, boom -> email.

But the website is in spanish.

I was trying (and amazing myself) how the validation works fine out of the box, but found that the error message is in english.

Not big deal I can manage that (by hacking the field type module, and changing the string), but I wander if is there a more "processwiry" and political correct way to do it, if you understand what I mean (without writing a whole set of new modules that extends the inputs but in spanish neither).

Well, again many thanks for this great great CMS.

Hey @fmquaglia, welcome to the forums .

There currently is no better 'processwire' way of doing this, at least right now; multiple languages for frontend as well as different/multiple languages for admin – this whole mulitlinguality is currently one of weak points of ProcessWire, due to nature of it's creator (ignorant american  ), but it's on top of the list for Ryan, as far as I know.

Hey Adam,

Thanks a lot for the enlightment.

I saw in the forums that you're one of the more active members, and experienced processwire users.

Your hints are always savy and straight.

Thanks a lot for the enlightment!

Is really not a problem to change a string.

You should have seen the unholy and dirty things I did to certain Joomla core-classes 5 years ago  ;D

Again, thanks!

[Adam Kiss]

Well, Joomla is based on dirty and unholy things... nevermind.

[fmquaglia]

Oh yes!

I wish I had processwire at that time

Thanks for your feedback! Glad that you like ProcessWire so far! There are some features that aren't in PW yet due to it being a young cms/framework (and the issue Adam mentioned  ), and multilingual features are one of them. But the good news is that it's already in progress and the current top priority on the roadmap. A new user, role and permissions system also accompanies this.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hey Ryan,

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Although I know some PHP this language isn't my coup of tea.

However if I can collaborate e.g. doing the spanish translations, just let me know.

I'm so amazed with the power of processwire, that I would like to get involved somehow.

Greetings!

Thanks we could definitely use help with the Spanish translations.  I hope to be at the point in a few weeks where we can start plugging in new translations, and I very much appreciate your help.

Hello Ryan!

That's great news. I'll love to help you on that.

Greetings!
