Hi! How can I translate the options of my select field type in my blueprint?
Thanks.

You can do it like this:

my_field:
    label: My Selection
    type: select
    options:
      a:
        en: This is the A Option
        de: Das ist die A Option
      b:
        en: This is the B option
        de: Das ist die B option

Note that this will not add a translation to the file, you can, however, translate the options in your language files.

@texnixe I have “en” and “ar” added in my config.php.
I have this in my blueprint

    city:
        label: City
        type: select
        default: Riyadh
        options:
          riyadh:
            en: Riyadh
            ar: الرياض

but the Arabic translation won’t show in my panel even with Arabic language selected.

Note that this will not add a translation to the file, you can, however, translate the options in your language files.

Sorry but I don’t quite understand what you meant.

The translation is only shown if the user selects that language in their user profiles, not if you change the language in the topbar.

What I mean is, that in case of the above example, if the user selects “riyadh”, the key “riyadh” will get saved to file, not the label value “Riyadh”.
