i created custom labels from vf page, But i didn't create some custom labels for pick list values in my vf pages..
How to create custom labels for pick list values in salesforce??
any body help me how to achieve this????
In the below screenshot i created custom label for header only.. i don't know the way how to create custom labels for pick list values in drop-down list..
i'l attached screenshot also..
My example based on the following settings:
First i will read all values of the custom picklist and add it to the select option list. Then read the custom settings and add it to the list too.
Controller:
public String selectedValue { get; set; }
public List<SelectOption> getMyOptions(){
List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
// Reading picklist values and labels
Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = MyObject__c.Picklist__c.getDescribe();
List<Schema.PicklistEntry> picklistEntries = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();
// Adding apicklist values to the select list
for(Schema.PicklistEntry entry : picklistEntries){
options.add(new SelectOption(entry.getValue(), entry.getLabel()));
}
// Now adding custom settings to the select list
for(MySettingsList__c setting : MySettingsList__c.getAll().values()){
options.add(new SelectOption(setting.name, setting.Setting1__c));
options.add(new SelectOption(setting.name, setting.Setting2__c));
}
return options;
}
Visualforce page:
<apex:selectList value="{!selectedValue}" size="1" multiselect="false">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!MyOptions}"/>
</apex:selectList>
Then it should look like this:
You have to use labels or translation workbench.
There are some options to display translated picklists on the visualforce.
A salesforce standard way to is to use apex:inputField tag with assigned sobject field of type picklist. In this case a picklist will be generated automatically with respect to the current user language. All you need to do is translate each picklist value with translation workbench
The second option is to create a picklist on the visualforce page with apex:selectList tag and use labels for each apex:selectOption entry (like in your example). That's not bad at all to use labels, even if you need to create a tons of it. It is absolute ok to have several hundreds or even thousands of label, depends on the project size.
Best Answer
Assuming that you need to translate your picklist values the way you translate any other custom label, this is what you should do.
Setup -> Translation settings Enable translation in your org.
Setup -> Translate Select language, "Picklist value" in setup component and your choice of object. The result will display all the picklist fields that is present in the selected object.
Expand the picklist of your choice and write the translated value in 'Picklist value Label Translation' column. Example, if picklist value is 'Earth', then the translated value will be 'Tierra' if the language that is selected in Spanish.
Now if you refresh you VF page, the picklist values will be translated.
*Don't forget to change your language from personal information.
