My journal’s website runs in two languages - English and Polish. In website settings tab English is primary locale, UI and forms are checked for both languages, but submissions are allowed only in English.
My problem is that I want to have only English fields (single) in submission form (metadata), but since the forms are also checked for Polish (we have to edit website content in both laguages) in submission form therea are doubled fields:
I want to have only English fields in submission form (I mean submission form fields like Title, Abstract, Keywords etc., not submission page which can be switched to Polish) so I tried to avoid it by changing all the multilingual attributes to false in MetadataFormTitleFields.tpl and submissionMetadataFormFields.tpl (in lib/pkp/templates/submission/submission) like below:
{fbvFormSection for=“title” title=“common.title” inline=“true” size=$fbvStyles.size.LARGE required=true}
{fbvElement type=“text” multilingual=false name=“title” id=“title” value=$title readonly=$readOnly maxlength=“255” required=true}
{/fbvFormSection}
but it didn’t help. Although form fields seem to look ok - they are all single and by default should be English - when I try to go to the next step with all the required fields filled I get the error message “Please enter the title of your article. (English)”. Even changing all required attribute to false didn’t help - I still get the same message.
Is there any way to get rid of multilingual fields in submission forms when submissions are allowed only in one language? I will be grateful for yor advices and help.
In the first sentence of my post I wrote that “In website settings tab English is primary locale, UI and forms are checked for both languages, but submissions are allowed only in English.”:
