Fluent Forms – Error Messages from Global Settings Are Not Translatable

Published Updated

Overview of the Issue

When using Fluent Forms with WPML, custom error messages added directly to individual forms are translatable via the Advanced Translation Editor, but default messages from Fluent Forms’ global settings (e.g., “This field is required.”) are not available for translation.

Workaround

This issue is fixed. Updating to the latest version solves it on your site, so you only need this workaround if you can’t update yet.

  • Go to WPMLSettingsCustom XML Configuration in your WordPress dashboard.
  • Add the following XML configuration and save: 
    <wpml-config>
  <admin-texts>
    <key name="_fluentform_global_form_settings">
      <key name="default_messages">
        <key name="*"/>
      </key>
    </key>
  </admin-texts>
</wpml-config>
  • Go to WPMLString Translation to translate the global error messages.
