Translatable dropdown menu

Question

Does anyone know how to make the dropdown field translatable?

I'm working on a site which has both English and German languages, but whenever I set up a dropdown field it only ever appears in English and I don't have an option for the German version.

EDIT: I'm needing this to work as a dropdown on the German site also and not through templating {{ "word" | t }} as I need the client to have total control of this feature.

Any help would be appreciated — thanks.

It does it per default:

public function getInputHtml($value, ElementInterface $element = null): string
{
    return Craft::$app->getView()->renderTemplate('_includes/forms/select', [
        'name' => $this->handle,
        'value' => $value,
        'options' => $this->translatedOptions(), //<-- here are your translated options
    ]);
}

But you need to insert your translations into your translation files for the site category

protected function translatedOptions(): array
{
    $translatedOptions = [];

    if ($this->options) {
        foreach ($this->options as $option) {
            $translatedOptions[] = [
                'label' => Craft::t('site', $option['label']),
                'value' => $option['value']
            ];
        }
    }

    return $translatedOptions;
}
