Hi,

I'm using cforms and trying to override the general.field-required
message for the empty but 'required' (in formdefinition) fields. I have the line below in a messages.xml:

<message key="general.field-required">Dit is een verplicht
veld.</message>

For testing purposes: If i specify this key in a label of a field, the
string "Dit is een veplicht veld" is correctly translated for this
field-label. So cocoon is able to find the needed key in my messages.xml
with the keys i specify in the formdefinition.
Only the translation for required="true" in the <fd:field> tag is NOT
translated into a proper message if a user leaves a (required) field
empty.
AFAIK this should be handled somewhere in the forms*.xsl pages.
Unfortunalely i cannot find the problem. Can someone help me? Thanks a
lot!

Example:
The code below works, the specified label is overruled by the one in my
messages.xml:

<fd:label>
<i18n:text i18n:key="general.field-required">this should be
overruled</i18n:text>
</fd:label>


The i18n elements produced by CForms all have an attribute i18n:catalogue="forms", which means that the i18n transformer will always look for a catalogue configured with the id "forms" to get its translations for these elements. The example above works because you're not telling it to use a specific catalogue, so it uses whichever default catalogue you have configured in your sitemap.

You need to have something like this in your sitemap:

<map:transformer name="i18n" src="org.apache.cocoon.transformation.I18nTransformer">
   <catalogues default="default">
      <catalogue id="forms" name="Messages" location="path/to/forms"/>
      <catalogue id="default" name="Messages" location="path/to/i18n"/>
   </catalogues>
</map:transformer>

And make sure your overridden CForms messages are in the "forms" catalogue. See the I18nTransformer docs for more details about setting up catalogues.

Hope that helps
