Background of the issue:
I am using the address field to collect country information from users on my site hidden link. The country field and its options are translated for other languages using WPML, but I need the submission for the country to remain in English. This is necessary because in our synced CRM, we cannot filter by country easily as they are all imported in different languages.
Symptoms:
The country field submissions are being imported into the CRM in different languages, making it difficult to filter by country.
Questions:
Is it possible to keep the country field submission in English while using WPML for translations?
You can set your custom field to "Copy" in WPML -> Settings -> Custom Fields Translation and WPML 'll not translate this field but 'll copy the default language value across all languages.
Thank you but the country field is inside a gravity form.
I have attached an example of the italian page. The countries in the list are automatically translated to Italian, but we need the english version of the country submitted in the entry so that it populates our CRM correctly.
Generally there's no solution available for this except that you should translate the form manually and in the translation editor copy the values for that field, instead of translating automatically. If you've already translated automatically, then you can edit the translation and correct it as needed.
