This thread wasn't opened by me – I think I can't do that?

Mark your answer as accepted solution. So others can notice it.

Thanks for the answers. I fixed it in the PHP file – it was hard-coded into components/formitbuilder/model/formitbuilder/FormRule.class.php

I replaced the string in this file and it works. It was on the front-end, not the manager. But I am wondering why formIt doesn't load the string from the DB?!

I also tried to copy "$modx->setOption('cultureKey', 'de');" into my formIt snippets, but it will still loads it from the PHP file.

Look in core/components/formit/lexicon.

The string is in the default.inc.php files there. I don't know why FormIt is not using that file when you set &language=`de`. Looking at the FormIt class file code, it should definitely load that file based on the &language setting.

If not, you might try setting this in the FormIt snippet:

$modx->setOption('cultureKey', 'de');

or this in the FormIt class file:

$this->modx->setOption('cultureKey', 'de');

What is that message coming from? The Manager, or a FormIt form on the front-end?

Lexicons aren't in the database, they are files. The Manager lexicon files are found in core/lexicon, while extras like FormIt would have their own lexicon files in their core/components/extra-name directories.

I am facing a similar error …
The error message is always "Fieldname is required". I don't know where the "is required" comes from and how to change it.
- there is 'de' translation in my lexicon
- I translated the english version as well
- locale settings are set to 'de' (locale and culture key)

I even can't find 'is required" within my database. Any suggestions?

I had same problem what I did is set these setting: system Settings > Core > Lexicon en Language --> cultureKey: nl and fe_editor_lang: nl. Now errormessages are in nl(dutch) without setting formit lexicon-settings.

Just bumping this in case anyone has found a solution as yet?

If I have no &language set in Formit, it works. If I set &language to `en` it works in English (obviously). Set it to anything else and it doesn't - I get the formit.field_required message.

Any ideas?

I dont use &language=`nl` anymore.

What works perfectly for me is the following syntax for FormIt:

[[!FormIt?
   &hooks=`spam,email,redirect`
   &emailTpl=`contactTpl`
   &emailSubject=`Bericht verzonden via contact-formulier website`
   &emailTo=`[email protected]`
   &validate=`naam:required,
      email:email:required,
      bericht:required:stripTags`
   &redirectTo=`27`
]]

Change following settings in System -> System Settings
-locale nl_NL
-cultureKey nl

Good luck!
