Does anyone know how to make or_other in another language

Development
1

Survey in french, but for some questions, i have "select_one xxx or_other".
everything is in french except for the "other" option and then the "specify
other" that follows. Any way to change that from English?

Amanda,
The "or other" part was created as fixed english in XLSForm (someone please
correct me if I am wrong). You can easily fix this by opening up the XML
file that XLSForm that was created for you. Even if you do not understand a
single thing about XML files, you can just do a search on the word "Other"
and with a text editor (bloc-notes) replace with "Autres options" or
whatever you want. Same for "specify other". Save this .xml file and it
should work fine.

Amanda,

This is a limitation/bug in pyxform and you should file a bug report
at https://github.com/XLSForm/pyxform.

Curtis' solution will work in a pinch, but it's not great for multiple
languages. I usually create the other text option in the form and make
it relevant when other is manually selected.
