thank you for the configuration file. now i can translate form fields of type "radio", but i still don't see an option to translate form fields error messages.
E.g. "This field cannot be empty!".

Hello,

can you please share more information, is this message you added, or coming from a theme/plugin files?

Please try to reproduce the issue on the same sandbox and share with me the steps you did and how can I see the problem.

As you can see, in the panel I can edit the error message of each field, as well as the general error and "Pre Submit Form Validation". But in the translation editor there are no these phrases for fields (string in Polish language:"To pole jest wymagane") and Pre Submit (string in Polish language:"Wypełnij pola!").

Hello,

our team checked and fixed the issue.

As last time, you can wait a day or two for use to update XML config file and it should work fine, You can add it manually via WPML > Settings > Custom XML configuration:

<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="kadence/form" translate="1">
      <key name="messages">
        <key name="*">
          <key name="success" />
          <key name="error" />       
        </key>
      </key>
      <key name="redirect" />
      <key name="email">
        <key name="*">
          <key name="subject" />
          <key name="fromName" />
        </key>
      </key>
      <xpath>//div[contains(@class, "kadence-blocks-form-field")]/label/text()</xpath>
      <xpath>//div[contains(@class, "kadence-blocks-form-field")]/input/@*[name()='data-label' or name()='placeholder' or name()='value' or name()='data-required-message']</xpath>
      <xpath>//div[contains(@class, "kadence-blocks-form-field")]/textarea/@*[name()='data-label' or name()='placeholder']</xpath>
      <xpath>//div[contains(@class, "kadence-blocks-form-field")]/textarea</xpath>
      <xpath>//div[contains(@class, "kadence-blocks-form-field")]/span</xpath>
      <xpath>//div[contains(@class, "kadence-blocks-form-field")]/button</xpath>
      <xpath>//div[contains(@class, "kb-radio-item")]/label/text()</xpath>
      <xpath>//div[contains(@class, "wp-block-kadence-form")]/form/@data-error-message</xpath>
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

Thanks and regards,

The last solution is ok, but only for the main error inforamation. There are still individual messages left (screen attached). I tried to add my own configuration to the XML, but unfortunately none of the ideas worked.

Hello,

probably depends on the field set.

If you can show us on the sandbox site where it is added and what goes wrong, I will be sure to ping our compatibility team to check and add further XML.

Please note some of the message might be coming from PHP files and would need to be translated via WPML String translation.

Thanks,
Drazen

In the sandbox environment it works good :/
I have no idea why there is something wrong on my site

Hello,

thanks for getting back.

If not reproducible and not the same topic, then we will need to re-check it as a new case and in a new ticket I have just opened:

- https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-form-messages-not-translatable/

Let's continue there.
