Hi Ben,
I've been working with Form Tools for quite a while now and recently purchased the Form Builder module to speed up development on some registration forms. There are a few things I'd like to do with the form builder but am not sure if it's possible.
1) Is it possible to make form builder templates multilingual? I'd like all the "edit" and "next" etc. texts to be able to be available in different languages in the same form. Basically I suppose I'd need a way to save the texts as strings in different languages somewhere and call the right language strings up from the template as needed.
Also, following the same idea, is it possible to replace the form field names with different language ones dynamically?
2) Is there a way to add little instructional texts on form pages through the form builder interface? It'd be helpful not having to hard code them in the template, because the same template will be used on multiple forms at the same time. The instruction texts should sometimes be placed in between certain fields not just on top of the page. Is it be possible to create a new field type somehow that instead of showing the input element, would output a paragraph with the instruction text? And to add to the mix, could this happen multilingually somehow?
3) Is it possible to somehow interfere with the way the Form Builder form moves from one page to another? I need to skip certain pages based on some values entered on earlier pages. For example if checkbox a is checked, skip page 3 etc.
Thanks for your hard work on the Form Tools - the script has saved me days or maybe weeks of work already!
