I know this question was asked a couple of years ago, but I wanted to reach out to the community to see if there is another way to deal with this - we have the same requirement as the OP. Our corporate reporting requires the "standard" fields like Customer Name etc. to be in English, but the Japanese director would like to capture some information in Japanese, and store it as such. We can create the landing pages, forms etc. to be in Japanese, but need a way to capture it in English as well. Also, can anyone point me out to the external data tools that can be used? Typically we want to capture information like Company Name or contact name - not something we can put in translation tables.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
