Multilingual Blog-posts are saved as 'Post 1, Post 2, etc.' instead of the postT...

I've created a multilingual Blog using the PHP-variable '$lang'. In the post.html I've created a field per language, in this way:

<perch:if id="lang" value="nl"><perch:blog id="postTitle-nl" type="text" label="Titel (Nederlands)" required="true" order="1" /></perch:if>
<perch:if id="lang" value="en"><perch:blog id="postTitle-en" type="text" label="Titel (Engels)" required="true" order="2" /></perch:if>

All seems to work fine. But Perch is saving each post as 'Post 1', 'Post 2', etcetera instead of the postTitle. Is there a way I can tell Perch to use the postTitle?

Yes. Add

title="true"

to the perch tag.

I've tried that, but unfortunately that doesn't work.

<perch:if id="lang" value="nl"><perch:blog id="postTitle-nl" type="text" label="Titel (Nederlands)" title="true" required="true" order="1" /></perch:if>
<perch:if id="lang" value="en"><perch:blog id="postTitle-en" type="text" label="Titel (Engels)" title="true" required="true" order="2" /></perch:if>

postTitle is the designated title of the post, so it's probably best to use that for your default language.

That's it. Thanks Drew and Robert!
