    Populating Dropdown-field with two different data connections

    Hello,

    I have to create a form in German and in English.

    At the very top of the form I have implemented a checkbox in which the user should decide whether he/she wants to see the English or German version of the form, like 'checkbox = true then English' or 'checkbox = false then German'.

    Then, I have a dropdown-field that is populated via data connection. Depending on whether the checkbox-value is true or false the values in the dropdown-field should be in German or in English. So, I think of using one data connection to get the German vocab when the checkbox-value is false and a second data connection to get the English vocab when the checkbox-value is true.

    So my question is, is it possible to populate a dropdown-field via two different data connections depending on the decision that is made in the checkbox?

     Thank you very much in advance for your effort.

    Hi, you have 2 ways to do that, first you make 2 view, one in english and one in german. The other way you use a single view and with 2 section english and german and you make conditionnal formatting to display one or another depending on your checkbox.

    You talk about  data connection your english and german data sources are on the same site and list and you use a column for english and another for german or your site is completly different site?
