This snippet uses the admin FilterSelectMultiple widget in normal forms.

Earlier I tried this without the internationalization javascript and failed, so I looked around the web and found couple of posts, they worked but suggest many customizations.
I learnt from them that they had this jsi18n javascript included. I included it with mine and it worked.

I have written a detailed post about this.
