    Does anybody knows how to set the FormItCountryOptions list to another language? I need it in Dutch. I changed the language codes in systemsettings, but nothing changes on the frontend in de select field.

      I believe FormIt uses the cultureKey value in the system settings to include the desired country file (default us.countries.inc.php).
      These files are stored in: core/components/formit/includes/

      There is a dutch lexicon (nl.states.inc.php) present, but it shows a list of states. If you want the country list in Dutch, I guess you have to translate the us.countries.inc.php and name it nl.countries.inc.php in order to get it called by FormIt based on the cultureKey.

        There is such a list in core/lexicon/country, you might be able to access that directly, or at least copy it to the formit lexicon.

          I see the code and i found:
          $country = $this->getOption('country','us');
          then: [[!FormItCountryOptions? &selected=`[[!+fi.country]]` &country=`[[++cultureKey]]` ]]
          in the documentation i don't found country param but is used!
