The system transform the text into a translation key, using only uppercase and replacing special characters by underscores. So, yes it is the correct way to translate custom field values. For the second point, I'm not sure I understand it clearly ; can you please try to re-explain it or provide a screenshot to illustrate your problem ?

As you can see in the attachment, I've 4 entries in my language override window but it works only if I leave only one entry (the first one). If I insert more than one, hikashop show me not the translated text but the translation key (as seen in url). So, this works and I get "blabla": KEY = "blabla" This NOT works and I get KEY, ANOTHERKEY and SOMEOTHERKEY: KEY = "blabla" ANOTHERKEY = "blablablabla" SOMEOTHERKEY = "blablablablablabla" Thank you. - [ ![Schermata_11-2456969_alle_07_22_25.png](/forum/attachment/20566) ](/forum/attachment/20566 "...e_07_22_25.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/20566?download=1 "...e_07_22_25.png") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI1LWluc3RhbGwtdXBkYXRlLzg3MjgzOS1sYW5ndWFnZS1vdmVycmlkZT90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Mohamed Thelji](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile")** - [![Mohamed Thelji's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar6861.png)](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji) Less More - Posts: 12953 - Thank you received: 1778 - - - 11 years 11 months ago [\#178711](#178711) by [Mohamed Thelji](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile") Replied by *[Mohamed Thelji](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile")* on topic *[Language override](/forum/25-install-update/872839-language-override#178711 "-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.montinibags.it/collezione/prodotto/2...n-pelle-marrone.html -- HikaShop version -- : Business 2.3.4 Hi, I need to translate my custom field values.

It is possible that there is something in the overridden language file which make a parsing error. With the Joomla language debug mode activate, you will be able to see that.
