Hello, i need to translate different custom fields values...
The titles of the custom fields are translated by language overrides, but i can´t find any solution to translate the corrosponding values.
VM seems only to allow the Product discription to be translated

I use VM 2.0.24 and J! 2.5.14

any help is well appreciated

thanks

All words which are part of the frontend and backend of user interface in Joomla and VirtueMart are stored in language files with the .ini suffix. If you need customizations of text, it is recommended to place your customized text in 'language override' files. If you would simply add your customized text to the original language files, you would loose them again next time you update. See this explanation:

Translating the values of custom fields is pretty similar to this: http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/36-multilingual-store/105-using-language-keys-in-form-fields.html
