This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is unable to translate forms created with Fluentform using WPML, despite attempting a workaround by creating a new form with translated label names.
Solution:
If you're experiencing issues translating forms created with Fluentform using WPML, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the new form with translated items has its own unique ID.
2. Edit the page in the default language.
3. Use the language switcher at the top of the page to switch to the translation. If you can't see the language switcher, exit full screen mode.
4. Dismiss any warnings, and you should now be able to manually edit the translation either in the WP editor or the page builder mode.
5. Replace the old form ID with the new form ID and update the page.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate my forms created with Fluentform. My site is in English, and I am translating to French. I know Fluentform is not compatible with WPML, and I have tried a workaround but still can't achieve a translation. I created another form and translated the label names to French for testing.

Symptoms:
I can't come up with a translation for my forms using Fluentform, even after trying a workaround.

Questions:
How can I use the new form with translated label names?
Is there a specific method to translate Fluentform forms using WPML?

Hi there,

When creating the new form with the translated items, it should have it's own unique ID. (looks like ID = 11 )

How are you adding the form to the page?

You should be able to do the following:

1. Edit the page in question in the default language.

2. Use the language switcher at the top and switch to the translation (if you can't see it exit full screen mode)

3. Dismiss the warning and now you should be able to manually edit the translation either in the WP editor or the page builder mode.

Replace the old ID and add the new ID and update.

Let me know your results, please.
