Having some limited success with the Internationalization for Forms and Dashboards plugin. Installed it and works fine with <bundle>_en_US just fine and switching locale for <bundle>_fr_CA is good too.

I'm not seeing the translations when logged in as a Basic User; they display when logged in as a System Administrator. Is it necessary to set the security on the Translations Documents folder?

I tried this like this : the user locale is en_US and i have 2 bundles for c.en_US and c.en files, I have declared in my bundle in c.en_US like Submit=Submit and in c.en Sumit=Submit. Now in my Form i am stating it like translate("c.en_US","sumit"). So it should check for c.en_US file and then c.en file.Now the c.en file contains sumit. but it is returning me like ???Sumit??? any suggestions please or am i doing it wrong anywhere
