[TYPO3-english] th_mailformplus option select multilanguage

[G.Unger]

hello list

I know there is a new formhandler extension, nevertheless I would like 
to know sth. about th_mailformlus, slecet/option fields and 
multilanguagesites.

the question is the following:

in generel a select/option field for eg title workz like this

		<select name="title" id="title">
			<option value="">###LLL:title_label0###</option>
			<option value="###LLL:title_label1###">###LLL:title_label1###</option>
			<option value="###LLL:title_label2###">###LLL:title_label2###</option>
		</select>

where
title_label0 = please choose
title_label1 = Mrs.
title_label2 = Mr.

I use the ###LLL:...### for the value as well, as the admin mail goes 
to different departments  and shows the value in there apropriate 
language.

so far so good, this workz with a little glitch.
the title field should be mandatory. so when the user doesn't fill it 
an error message is generated. no problem, I can achieve the validation 
and error-msg.

but when he fills this field and sends the form again missing out some 
other mandatory field(s), the vaule is not kept.

ok normally this could work like this

		<select name="title" id="title">
			<option value="">###LLL:title_label0###</option>
			<option value="1" ###selected_title_1###>###LLL:title_label1###</option>
			<option value="2" ###selected_title_2###>###LLL:title_label2###</option>
		</select>

and on resubmit of the form the value is kept. but then again in the 
admin mail the value is not translated (as there is no LLL in the 
value) and all departments receive either 1 or 2 instead of Mrs./Mr. in 
there apropriate language.

###selected_title_LLL:title_label1### obviously doesn't work :(

I hope I explained well what I am trying to achive and hope s.o. can 
point me into the right direction.

rgds & thx,
guido
