Multilingual forms doesn't save checkbox and dropdown when creating Umbraco nodes
Hi,
I'm saving a Forms entry as a Umbraco node, containing checkbox lists and dropdowns. That work great using a single language, and the running version of our site is all good.
We've now been asked to make our forms bilingual. I've created a new test form, and all the labels and values are entered using dictionary items (passed in custom data types using prevalue sources written with the dictionary # for the dropdowns/checkbox lists). The form itself works well, and save the entries.
However, when I now save the entry as a node, the dropdown and checkbox lists content doesn't follow. I've seen that the value recorded in Forms is the translated final value found in the dictionary, and not the key, so I assume that's why it doesn't save.
Any idea how to correct that, or maybe have Forms save the dictionary key instead of the final value?
Scratch that, bad memory from my part. It works in 7.4 because I save the value as text fields, not in their respective data types. Not perfect, but it did the job.
Still, I would like to know if it's possible to save the dictionary key in the Forms' entries, instead of the value.

Using Umbraco 7.5.13 and Forms 4.4.2.
