I'm attemting to include the Rainlabs.Translate plug-in into a plug-in I'm developing. I have a applied the code as per the docs http://octobercms.com/plugin/rainlab-translate but my back-end form is not showing me the translatable controls - the docs state

The back-end forms will automatically detect the presence of translatable fields and replace their controls for multilingual equivalents

In my model I have the following, straight from the documentation:

public $translatable = ['review_text'];
 public static function boot()
{
    // Call default functionality (required)
    parent::boot();

    // Check the translate plugin is installed
    if (!class_exists('RainLab\Translate\Behaviors\TranslatableModel'))
        return;

    // Extend the constructor of the model
    self::extend(function($model){

        // Implement the translatable behavior
        $model->implement[] = 'RainLab.Translate.Behaviors.TranslatableModel';

    });
}

I have 3 locales set up (English, French, Spanish) In my back-end form the review_text field renders as textarea but without any translatable controls. What am I missing?

In then end this proved to be irritatingly simple to resolve. In my fields.yaml file for my model's form I had capitalised the field type:

type: Text

making it all lowercase fixed it

type: text

@Sunshine,

THANK YOU for posting this solution. Would have stumped me for... ever?!

In my case, I forgot to configure more than one language in the settings. If the plugin detects that you only have one active language, it will not render the multilangual form fields as it is not necessary

Same here, impossible to get translatable fields in the backend for my plugin... Works perfectly with the Rainlab Blog Plugin.

What am I missing?
