Hi,

First I couldn't translate the form at all, but after adding some XML I now do can translate the form. The only things that aren't translated are the drop down select options. How can I add those?

I've got this XML atm:

<wpml-config>
<elementor-widgets>
<widget name="heading">
<fields>
<field>title</field>
</fields>
</widget>
<widget name="icon-list">
<fields-in-item items_of="icon_list">
<field>text</field>
</fields-in-item>
</widget>
<widget name="text-editor">
<fields>
<field>editor</field>
</fields>
</widget>
<widget name="form">
<fields>
<field>form_fields</field>
<field>step_next_label</field>
<field>step_previous_label</field>
<field>button_text</field>
<field>email_subject</field>
<field>email_subject_2</field>
<field>success_message</field>
<field>error_message</field>
<field>required_field_message</field>
<field>invalid_message</field>
</fields>
<fields-in-item items_of="form_fields">
<field>placeholder</field>
<field>field_label</field>
</fields-in-item>
</widget>
</elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

With kind regards,

Robbert

Hi Robbert,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Please login to this sandbox site, create a test page, use the form widget, and translate it. (hidden link)

If the issue is replicable, please let me know how to reproduce it.

Thanks,
Osama

Hi,

There the translation is just working hidden link

I also didn't need to add the XML to see the other form. What could be the issue on my site?

Hi Robbert,

Could you please check if the issue persists in a minimal environment by following these steps?

1- Deactivate all the plugins except those active ones on the sandbox site.
2- Switch to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one.
3- Remove the XML for the dropdown form field.
4- Create a test page and translate it.

If the issue is gone, activate them one by one to see which one is causing an interaction issue.

❌ Please backup your database before performing the above test ❌

Best regards,
Osama
