Hi,
since EE does not support multiple languages registration forms, I implemented a simple (though dirty, please don’t judgde me 😉 JavaScript workaround.
Let’s say I have two different languages, English and German. When Setting up a dropdown question I name it “Color / Farbe” and set the values to “Blue / Blau” and “Red / Rot”. As a result I get the following (simplified) HTML structure:
<label>Color / Farbe</label>
<select>
<option value="Blue / Blau">Blue / Blau</option>
<option value="Red / Rot">Red / Rot</option>
</select>
Now via JavaScript I check the current language and manipulate the DOM to get the following result:
<label>Color</label>
<select>
<option value="Blue / Blau">Blue</option>
<option value="Red / Rot">Red</option>
</select>
Users now only see labels and values in their language. Great. But a problem emerges, I guess, on form submit. Let’s say the user selects “Blue”: In the database the value “Blue / Blau” gets stored, which is perfectly fine but on the admin panel when looking at the attendee data, the dropdown “Color / Farbe” has no option selected.
If I turn off JavaScript everything works fine.
Do you have any idea what could cause this issue?
Thanks.

Are you turning off JavaScript in the admin only, or in the registration form as well? I tried putting answers in for a question with slashes in it, and it seems to work fine.

I am completely turning it off in Chrome developer tools.
Would it help if I gave you access to the dev server?

It might. It should only take a little debugging code on the attendee admin page. You can fill out the form here and be sure to include ftp credentials.

I found that if a question value has double spaces in it, then it is changed to a single space in the registration form or the value in the edit attendee screen. Then when the answer is compared, it does not match the value. I put a fix in on your site, in includes/functions/form_build.php changing line 304 and 305 to:
$find = array( ''', "\xC2\xA0", "\x20", " ", ' ', ' ' );
$replace = array( "'", ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ' );
