Hello,

we are sorry, the K2 extra fields table does not support multilingual, as you see in extra field’s setting form, it does not have an option to select displaying language.

Hi

I had the same problem and i solved it using language files. I declared the name of each extrafield and the value (if you use select boxes or radio button) in language files and when i want to display it translated i modified the template for k2 to representate the extra field translated using JText function.

EJ: If you need an extra field to say the kind of fruit you can declare the extra field like:
FRUIT: APPLE | LEMON

You can define this traslations in files
EN.ini


FRUIT = Fruit
APPLE = Apple
LEMON= Lemon


ES.ini


FRUIT = Fruta
APPLE= Manzana
LEMON = Limón


And you can modify the template of k2 to display this extrafield translated
ej: JText::_( ‘FRUIT’ );

I hope it will be useful

Thnks!
AJ

@milettic: It is language text and will be defined from language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_jak2filter.ini file
