Translateable select option labels

[paulhaem]

When using a select / multiselect field you can enter a Display Name and a Value. It would be nice to have instead of a single Display Name a column for each configured language / locale. As of now the only way to translate select options in the frontend is using Option Providers or Shared Translations. This adds quite the code and management overhead. It would also be a nice addition to the admin interface as it is by default multilanguage. It could display an according translation for a select option if matched with the logged-in users language and give the content creator some more comfort when selecting options inside a select or multiselect field.

What do you think?

Sounds similar to what we did on #14074, please have a look to see if it may help.

Did i get it right or the idea is to change in the UI to somehow display all the translations of each select option?

This works already fine when using an OptionProvider for select / multiselect fields and having a localized field as the key. The logged-in user then sees the select options in his configured language if available.

The idea was to add this behaviour without having to write a OptionProvider every time you want a select with translateable option labels.
