Using string translation to translate content on a Gravity Form. Translated the field.
Form = gravity_form-9
Name = textarea-4-placeholder
String = Enquiry details
I've updated the string for the other languages i.e. Spanish, but when I visit the page, the content is not translated?
Is there any documentation that you are following?
None
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?

Thanks. I've investigated further and I think this issue might have been that a different form was being presented. I do have a followup issue. Using the string translation still.
See attached screen grab. The String Translation Screen indicates a partial translation, but when you then go to check/edit, the content is all there, but 3 languages are NOT ticked. Do we have to go in to each of these and confirm that the translation is correct and check the boxes for each language?
sorry for waiting, we have a higher queue these days.
Using string translation to translate Gravity form content is not recommended way, only time when using string translation is necessary is when translating Gravity Forms conditional fields. You should go to WPML → Translation Managemen, send form for translation, and translate it using Translation editor.
Can you please update to latest necessary plugins and follow steps to translate gravity form as described in our documentation:
Thanks for coming back to me. I originally used WPML → Translation Management, send form for translation, and translate it using Translation editor, but i found that if I translated a word for 1 form it would not automatically translate the same word on another form?
yes, that is expected since you are translating content of that form. Imagine it as a page, you need to translate each page (form) separately, you can not just translate 1 word on one page and it changes on other pages automatically.
To help out with this, if you enter the translation for some specific word it will be saved in ATE memory, so when you go to translate the next form and same word appears ATE will suggest you use that transition, you just need to confirm it.
What you talking about is possible with String translation and plugin hardcoded files/strings. For example, when some string is loaded from plugin files, and on all of the websites, it is loaded from the same plugin file (same string) the translation of crouse would be showing on all pages also. An example is read more, log-in, checkout, and similar plugins strings.
