Overview of the issue
Gravity Forms Multilingual 5.0.0, released on September 15, 2026, requires WPML 5.0 or later. It does not work with WPML 4.9: the add-on is built on the translation editor and the string handling that WPML 5.0 introduced.
The add-on and WPML must therefore be updated in the right order. Updating Gravity Forms Multilingual to 5.0.0 on a site that still runs WPML 4.9 leaves the forms untranslated until WPML is updated too.
Workaround
Update WPML first, then Gravity Forms Multilingual. Update WPML to 5.0.1 or later: the in-place update from WPML 4.9 to 5.0.0 could end in a fatal error, and 5.0.1 fixes it.
A site that stays on WPML 4.9 keeps Gravity Forms Multilingual 1.8.5, the last version that works with WPML 4.9.
