Multi-language support for module config fields

[mach]

Hi, as an example, if I have set up a module with the following code for the config fields:

public static function getModuleConfigInputfields(array $data) {

    $inputfields = new InputfieldWrapper(); 

    $field = wire('modules')->get('InputfieldText');
    $field->name = 'headline_default';
    $field->label = "Please enter the headline:";
    $inputfields->add($field); 

    return $inputfields; 
}

Is there a way for the input fields to support multiple languages, similar to TextLanguage fields?  The only alternative that I can think of now is to code in multiple fields for each language:

public static function getModuleConfigInputfields(array $data) {

    $inputfields = new InputfieldWrapper(); 

    $field = wire('modules')->get('InputfieldText');
    $field->name = 'headline_default';
    $field->label = "Please enter the promo headline:";
    $inputfields->add($field); 

    $field = wire('modules')->get('InputfieldText');
    $field->name = 'headline_french';
    $field->label = "Please enter the promo headline (French):";
    $inputfields->add($field); 

    return $inputfields; 
}

but that's not dynamic and would become a hassle if I add multiple modules and/or languages in the future.

Still nope. There was same question some time ago. Module config is stored as json and you use Inputfields not Fieldtype.

There's the pager module I think where Ryan has text per language . Maybe worth a look.

Sorry I think its in LanguageSupportPageNames module.

Soma, you're right, there's something to be found in the source of LanguageSupportPageNames module: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/master/wire/modules/LanguageSupport/LanguageSupportPageNames.module#L781

Actually, Ryan creates a new InputfieldName for each language there, no real Multilanguage Field. Shouldn't this be possible as well?

Edit: I just had a look at the relevant section in ProcessModule module and the way it is handled there sadly doesn't work together with "real" multilanguage fields.

Would be amazing to get multilanguage ckeditor in form api

Or am I mixing things up and it's only not supported for module configs? If so please let me know how to use multilanguage ckeditor with form api, I got a little Newsletter ProcessModule and right now I use 2 textareas side by side, would be neat two have 'em like on a page edit page

Just came across the need for this, so thought I'd submit a feature request: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-requests/issues/46

https://github.com/CanRau/MarkupCookieConsent/ is already doing this and Ryan fixed some missing parts some month ago..

Thanks @Can - just looked through your module and have it working for my module already. Thanks so much for pointing me to this!

that was quick!  
great I could help

That's because I stole the relevant bits from your code

[Can]

For anyone finding this thread after a google search:

The solution with ProcessWire 3x is

$field = wire('modules')->get('InputfieldText');
$field->name = 'headline_default';
$field->label = "Please enter the promo headline:";
$field->useLanguages = true; // add this line 
$inputfields->add($field);

@tomaskostadinov and how do you access the fields by language?

I found only a solution by suffix. Or there is another solution?
