ws_type in vw_tww_wastewater_structure and types in database

[urskaufmann]

I understood a few days ago, that this type-fields (e.g.maintenance_event_type) work with the types in the database.
And I ask, why we do not use also types for the ws_type field in vw_tww_wastewater_structure (the list there is just configured in the project file)?
BUT: is it possible to translate this type-lists? If not: why do we not use normal vl_lists as type-lists (with value_en, value_de etc)?
If it's not possible to translate and a vl_list instead is not a good idea: can we use multilingual-expressions (manhole/Normschacht/Chambre standard)?
Instead of values "unknown" or "damage" or "overflow" (values that are shown with a new record): "Select a subclass ..."

This type is created by pirogue.
I think we can translate these in the project using a value-map field widget.

@urskaufmann Is this still an issue?

[urskaufmann]

the question of the translation is not answered.
I wish lists with the first element "Select a subclass..." and then the other elements for the subclasses (manhole, special_structure,...)
This list should be with code and language-fields (value_en, value_de, ...). Like this we can configure the qgs-file with no problems in the case a tab is just shown for a specific subtype. Till now, there is the english name of the type in the formula for the tab-visibility, and you have to manually change the formula if the type-values are translated.

Value-map field widgets (values and descriptions) are not exported to the .ts files and therefore not translatable to Transifex.

This would require a QGIS evolution first. I opened an issue here :

qgis/QGIS#59175
qgis/QGIS#56089

In the meantime I see no other option than manually translating the description fields

I added it as a known limitation to the translation guide

Why do we not create TWW-Valuelists in such cases?
vl_tww_wastewater_structure_subclass. With en, de, fr values.
The ws_type field as value_relation. Then we have just another "value_en" to translate.
