Thx
 

Mmh.. I see the problem. Are the i18n keys related to the selection list
item values, i.e. can you use an item's value to build the corresponding
i18n key? If yes, then that's a good candidate for the implementation of
CForms template as JX macros I'm about to commit today.
Using these macros (assuming the selection-list's value is stored in a
"item" output widget), you'll be able to write:
<ft:repeater id="repeat">
 <i18n:text key="${widget.getChild('item').getValue()}"/>
 <ft:widget id="other-widget"/>
</ft:repeater>
   

I see the solution, it solves the problem as long as the value of the
output, meaning also the key of the i18n isn't a whole sentence, which
offcourse ends out being my case. ;-) , I think I'll manage to cut my
sentences short, so this should work for me thanks.
 

Why couldn't it work with a whole sentence? A key is a key, whatever its 
length. Or am I missing something?

But out of curiosity, I don't have the knowledge to weigh how much work it
would take to allow an fd:selection-list tag in the repeater on an output
widget definition?? For the mapping to happen just like in a field
selection-list and then no i18n-ation pb :-)
 

Sorry, but I don't understand "fd:selection-list tag in the repeater on 
an output widget definition". Can you provide an example on how you 
would like this to be written?
