Text not Translating?

If some of your form texts don’t translate, like labels and sub-labels, they are likely strings. To translate strings:

  1. Visit your form on the front-end. This will make WPML register the strings for translation.
  2. Then, go to WPML → Translation Management and scroll to the Other texts (Strings) section.
  3. Search for your strings and send them for translation.

If you still can’t find these texts, make sure Auto-registration is enabled in the Other texts (Strings) section in Translation Management.
