I followed this:
https://wpml.org/de/compatibility/2019/02/announcing-contact-form-7-ml/

and this:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-translate-the-submit-button-in-contact-form-7/

But the button does not show in the translation editor, so I cannot translate it:

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

I can see the problem on the contact page that in English version it is not translated correctly. Can you check this guide https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/ and see if you can scan and find it?

If this doesn't help, may I ask for admin access to your website to check the issue in detail? You can create a separate admin user for this purpose, which can be deleted afterwards.

Also provide following detail to investigate/observe the issue:

- detailed steps to reproduce the issue
- links to pages in admin and on frontend
- screenshots or screen recording if needed to explain
- any other relevant information to observe/investigate the issue

Remember to take full backup of your website and database before proceeding. However, a staging/test site is highly recommended, because I may need to try some changes/fixes on the site, which may cause conflicts with the live site otherwise. Please confirm it in your next reply or let me know if you do not agree with the mentioned.

I've set your next reply as private to share this information safely.

IMPORTANT: If you don't see the section for providing access information, do not write in the message box or the information may appear as public.

See https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/ for details on privacy and security.

Before continuing on the site, I'll also need your confirmation and approval on each of the followings:

1) Is this a Live/Production or Staging/Dev site?
2) Is it OK to work on this site?
3) Is it OK to try some changes/fixes on the site and/or activate/deactivate/install a plugin on the site, which may cause conflicts with the other parts of the site?
4) Have you taken full backup of your website and database?

Please confirm, thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for providing the access and confirmations.

I was able to fix it by simply editing form translation in ATE and then searching in the editor for "Absenden". This brought up that it hasn't been translated. So I added English translation "Submit" and completed it.

This is now can be seen on frontend as well hidden link.

Screenshots are attached for your reference.

Please check and confirm.

Regards.

Hi thanks

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your approach to the remaining forms.

Is there something else you did, other than clicking to edit the English translation?

It shows differently when I do so (see attachments)

Hi,

Thank you for the updates and screenshots.

Please remember to pass/accept the reviews for these forms first, then edit the translation and search in the ATE.

The issue about "someone else is reviewing" is may be due to when I passed the review for the fixed form (contact form), it may have picked the next in queue while I had navigated away from it.

You can use the same user you provided me for testing, to pass the review in this case.

Let me know if this helps.

Regards.
