Hello,

I'm a new WPML customer and I translated a Website for a client yesterday and I'm still having a problem with the formidablepro form. I'm able to translate every field and every validation message exception for the Email field with a email confirmation field. I tried to delete the field and add it again, I tried to duplicate the form and I even try to create a new form with Email field only on the form and the problem is always the same. Whatever I put on the translate screen of the form or from the string translation page directly into WPML doesnt work. It's look it's a bug.

I got some inconsistent behavior with other formidableform field earlier today, but everything seems to be ok at this moment. Pages, posts, slugs are also Working correctly in french and english.

PS: The Website default language is French.

Can you help with this please?

Website switched from under development to production/live. As a workaround while waiting for your reply, I had to created one form in french and another one in english to have all string correctly displayed in each language.

Hello,

As far as I see from your screenshot the original string was entered inside the plugin options in English, while the one you are translating is on String Translation is an original French string.

It is likely that you are not translating the correct string or that the string you are looking for is not assigned to the correct language inside String Translation, as explained here:

https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/how-to-translate-formidable-forms-with-wpml/#translating-forms-created-in-default-languages-other-than-english

Please scan Formidable Forms for new strings at WPML > Theme and Plugin Localization and then verify again on WPML String Translation if the correct string(s) is translated.

If you still run into issues after that, please let me know.

Best regards
Andreas

Hi Andras,

The settings is correct since all other fields are correctly translated. I used the translate form option directly from the formidable form general settings and when I saw this problem, I tried to do it from the WPML String translation, but the problem is the same. The problem is only with the Email confirmation field. Find attached the screenshot of the Translate screen from the form itself. You will see that the form is in FRANCAIS (french) with all french string on the left and I'm translating it to ANGLAIS (english) on the right.

Thanks,

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please install the latest version of Formidable Forms PRO on the following test site so that we can try to recreate the issue?

One-Click-Login:
hidden link

Leave me a short notification once the plugin is installed.

If you would like to test yourself, please take note that this sandbox can not send e-mails. I have installed an e-mail log plugin for this purpose at Settings > Emails Catch-All.

Best regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

The Formidable Pro and Formidable Pro WPML has been installed and activated. I created a sample form with Email and Email confirmation fields. I also created a Main Menu and a bilingual sample page using the sample form.

Here is how to reproduce this issue.

- Go to hidden link
- Select FRENCH/FRANCAIS on the top menu
- Enter an email address "test@test.com" in the fist field
- On the same line, enter an email address who don't match the 1st one like "test@test.ca"
- Click on SUBMIT
- You will see error msg : Les adresses courriels ne correspondent pas along with other french msgs

- Now select ENGLISH on the top menu
- Repeat the same steps and click on SUBMIT
- Note that all fields are translated in english except the one for email addresses confirmation

If you go in the Formidable Form section and modify the sample form and click on Translate, you'll see that this field is correctly translated.

If you need more informations, let me know.

Thanks,

Hello,

Thank you very much.

The issue has been escalated towards our compatibility which will have a look into it and will need to determine if the issue is caused inside WPML or inside the Formidable Multilingual Plugin.

Further, please do not hesitate to report this issue to the Formidable Support team as well.

As soon as I will have further feedback from our team, I will be in contact again.

Best regards

Hello,

My apologies for the delay in answering regards to this issue.

For now, we can only offer the following workaround:

Please add this snippet to the bottom of your theme's functions.php file:

/*
* Workaround for WPML + Formidable Forms - compsupp-6248
*/
function wpml_compsupp6248_formidable_translate_validation_strings( $errors, $field ) {
	if ( ! isset( $errors[ 'fieldconf_' . $field->id ] ) ) {
		return $errors;
	}

	$errors[ 'fieldconf_' . $field->id ] = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $errors[ 'fieldconf_' . $field->id ], 'formidable', '3_field-9-conf_msg' );

    return $errors;
}
add_filter( 'frm_validate_field_entry', 'wpml_compsupp6248_formidable_translate_validation_strings', 10, 2 );

Then make sure to translate the string with the ´X_field-X-conf_msg` name on WPML > String Translatiion.

Only if this workaround will not be successful, then please try this one instead:

/*
* Workaround for WPML + Formidable Forms - compsupp-6248
*/
function wpml_compsupp6248_formidable_translate_validation_strings( $errors, $field ) {
	if ( ! isset( $errors[ 'fieldconf_' . $field->id ] ) ) {
		return $errors;
	}

	$errors[ 'fieldconf_' . $field->id ] = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $errors[ 'fieldconf_' . $field->id ], 'formidable', '3_field-9-conf_msg' );

	//Replace string for french language
	if ( defined( 'ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE' ) && 'fr' == ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE ) {
		$errors[ 'fieldconf_' . $field->id ] = 'french string here'; //Replace this with french string
	}	

    return $errors;
}
add_filter( 'frm_validate_field_entry', 'wpml_compsupp6248_formidable_translate_validation_strings', 10, 2 );

This snippet will allow you to force strings for the French language. You need to place the strings inside 'french string here'.

Please let me know if you do have any questions or issues with this workaround.

Best regards
Andreas

Hello,

The 1st solution doesn't work.

The 2nd snippet works fine but I had to modified it as follow since the client Website and forms default language is french.

//Replace string for ENGLISH language
if ( defined( 'ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE' ) && 'en' == ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE ) {
$errors[ 'fieldconf_' . $field->id ] = 'ENGLISH string here'; //Replace this with english string
}

Is this bug will be fixed in a future WPML update?

Thanks for your help.

Have a good day.
