+DYNAMIC FORM FOR SHOPPING CART
+
+Plugin needs to generate a form that will be automatically inserted below <!-- Dynamically-generated form --> in this file: storefront/view/default/template/blocks/language.tpl
+
+Example of form output:

+      <option value='ru' data-image="extensions/smart_translator/msdropdown/images/msdropdown/icons/blank.gif" data-imagecss="flag ru" data-title="&#1088;&#1091;&#1089;&#1089;&#1082;&#1080;&#1081;">&#1088;&#1091;&#1089;&#1089;&#1082;&#1080;&#1081;</option>
+      <option value='tr' data-image="extensions/smart_translator/msdropdown/images/msdropdown/icons/blank.gif" data-imagecss="flag tr" data-title="T&#252;rk&#231;e">T&#252;rk&#231;e</option>
+    </select>
+  </form>
+
+The form data is generated by the user when they fill out a form at msdropdown/examples/submitdata.php 
+
+PLEASE NOTE: To simulate data entry, upload this to your server and go to dynamic_form_project/interace.html
+
+Below is an example of a text output that shows English as the source language, and French, Portuguese and Spanish as the target languages. An image screenshot of the output is available at image/preview4.jpg.
+
+Array
+(
+    [lang_1] => en
+    [flag_1] => us
+    [lang_name_1] => English
+    [lang_2] => Array
+        (
+            [0] => fr
+            [1] => pt
+            [2] => es
+        )
+
+    [flag_2] => Array
+        (
+            [0] => fr
+            [1] => br
+            [2] => es
+        )
+
+    [lang_name_2] => Array
+        (
+            [0] => Fran�ais
+            [1] => Portugu�s
+            [2] => Espa�ol
+        )
+
+    [send] => Submit
+)
+
+VERY IMPORTANT: For some reason, jquery is not outputting the language names in html characters and this needs to be fixed. For example, it shows Fran�ais instead of Fran&#231;ais. This needs to be fixed since it will be a problem when the browser renders the page view.
+For the three language names above, the correct output should be: 
+
+            [0] => Fran&#231;ais
+            [1] => Portugu&#234;s
+            [2] => Espa&#241;ol
+
+NOTES:
+
+lang_1, flag_1 and lang_name_1 refer to the source language, i.e. the language translating from.
+
+lang_2, flag_2 and lang_name_2 refer to the target language(s), i.e. the language(s) translating to.
+
+option value refers to lang_1 or lang_2 abbreviation. Examples: en (English), pt (Portugu�s), es (Espa�ol)
+
+data-title refers to the name of the language in the language. Example: Espa�ol (Spanish)
+
+data-imagecss refers to flag_1 or flag_2. It consists of the word "flag" followed by a space plus the country flag abbreviation. Examples: flag us
+
+data-image has the same value for all languages. 
+
+The menu options need to be ranked in alphabetical order using lang_1/lang_2 abbreviations.
+
+lang_1 option must have this extra indicator: selected="selected"
+
+The onsubmit function must be changed to onchange. When language is selected from the dropdown menu, user is directed to the translated page in the language they picked.
+
+The URL language path needs to be added to the form. The language path is not static; it changes based on the referral URL. The referral URLs are as follows: 
+
+lang_1: [http protocol]://[lang_1][referral url] Example: https://assistech.com/store/vision 
+
+lang_2: [http protocol]://[lang_2][referral url] Examples: https://es.assistech.com/store/hearing, https://fr.assistech.com/mobility, etc.
+
+The form content changes dynamically everytime the user makes a new selection. 
+
+The form output will be displayed in the language menu at https://assistech.com/up127/ or any Abantecart user that wants to add translation to their website.
