Hi

I couln’t find anything else posted on these issues anywhere, but  
someone must have encountered this…

Is it possible to use country\_options\_for\_select or county\_select to  
generate a dropdown menu of countries in different languages ? My  
website is fine in English, but now I need German and French.

Furthermore, is it possible to over-ride the word “Browse” on the select  
button using file\_field?

Many thanks

Darren

Hi

I still have no replies. For the first question, I am assuming that the  
answer is “no” and will move on not using either of these functions,  
rather some database with all the country names I need in the languages  
I need.

The second issue still remains, but I have found that this is the case  
with Firefox, but not with ie. Thus, it is something better placed on a  
different forum.

Thanks anyway.
