 * Hi,
 * I am using WPML to translate the page. The problem I have is with the values 
   on a dropdown field, which when I change them in a second language form, they
   have multiple database entries.
 * example:
 * Choose color:
    red blue
 * and in German it would be:
    rot blau
 * which then are 4 db entries (should be only 2)
    I was able to workaround this
   through a predefined field in um_buildin.php and translating the strings.
 * example:
    ‘color_multi’ => array( ‘title’ => __(‘Color’,’ultimatemember’), ‘metakey’
   => ‘color_multi’, ‘type’ => ‘select’, ‘label’ => __(‘Color’,’ultimatemember’),‘
   placeholder’ => __(‘Select color’,’ultimatemember’), ‘required’ => 0, ‘public’
   => 1, ‘editable’ => 1, ‘options’ => array( __(‘red’,’ultimatemember’), __(‘blue’,’
   ultimatemember’), ) ),
 * However, the member search does not work then. Because in the profile, it takes
   the english value with the german translation as label, but in the member search
   it takes value and label in German resulting in 0 found members.
 * Anyone knows how to fix that?
 * thx.
