This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is using contact forms with date calendars on their website, and these calendars only appear in Greek, even when the site is set to English.
Solution:
We have identified that the issue arises because the HTML input field with type="date" is managed directly by the browser. Therefore, the language displayed in the date calendars corresponds to the browser's language settings, not the website's language settings.

If this solution does not resolve the issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum.

I visited hidden link and hidden link and for me, both calendar are in English.

This occurs because the HTML input field with type="date" is handled directly by the browser. The appearance of the calendar may vary slightly depending on the browser being used, and the language displayed will correspond to the browser's language settings.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, please let me know!
