Description
From the description of the module:
"
Translatable provides support for most used Drupal core objects, i.e. nodes,
blocks, menu items, and taxonomy vocabularies and terms. Due to its design,
support for CCK-based nodes is built-in.
"
However, I am not able to find the way to translate a select list with predefined options.
An example:
Content-type defining a person has a select list for choosing Mr or Mrs.
How can I translate Mr and Mrs to other languages?
The Localization - manage strings does not provide me a way to do it.
I tried to define key|value pairs in the values section instead of only the key but without success.
Is there a way to do this with this module?
thanks in advance

uhm, no. CCK support currently refers to creating translations of CCK nodes. Support for translating pre-defined CCK field values (like in your example) is currently not available. Patches are welcome, though.

I don't think I am able to provide a patch, I believe the patch should concern the CCK module providing the select list, or is it a translatable issue
All I can do is to provide my workaround of the issue:
-> define the possible values in the php section, like this:
return array('mr' => t('Mr'),
'mrs' => t('Mrs')
);
Mr and Mrs are then available for translation.
But I am not able to find how to translate the 'title' and 'body' custom label name (?).

To continue around the support of CCK by this great module:
I have added an image CCK field in a content-type. When translating a node, the image field is emptied.
If I try to upload another image I get an fopen error in my logs and the image is not displayed in the edit form.
And if I save the node, the original image is displayed in both languages.
EDIT: no, I loose the original image in the translation display.
Is there a limitation to 1 image in all translations for a given node?
