Handling multi language within forms

[gm6379]

We are trying to implement a multiple language solution following the multi language community starter project.

However when we display a form view, the columns with the questions are translated, however the actual answer drop downs are not translated. One solution appears to be having a different form per translation, however this would mean separate data sources for the responses to the form.

Is it possible to translate the responses using the same type of logic as is used for the questions, or is there a different solution available?

I've attached two screenshots to show the issue, and how we are translating the questions currently:

Yes.

If you haven't already, you could create a Choices table that includes a Question ID column, a Choice ID column, a Language column, and the choice text. Then in the Question's Valid if property, enter an expression that returns the list of choices associated with that Question ID in the user's language.

Thanks I didn't realise the Valid if property could be used in this way
