Translated SmartCapture

I have a form in French and while I want the values to display in French, when submitted the values should be in English in the data extension. Is this possible?

My suggestion would be to build the smart capture in English, using the standard interface. Then use JS/jQuery to update the front end labels, drop downs, etc. to the language according to visitor's preferences. 

<label for="pets">Your favourite pet:</label>
<select id="pets" name="pets">  
<option value="cat">Cat</option>  
<option value="dog">Dog</option>  
<option value="horse">Horse</option>
</select>

Without going into details of jQuery (there are countless examples out there) you could use following function to replace the values:

$('select option:contains("Horse")').text('Cheval');

This will appear as French to the user, but the values of the dropdown will still be in English. I will recommend using a JS code resource with Ampscript, together with a translation data extension to manage all the different language versions.
