[Resolved] Elementor Form widget translation, 1 string missing, 1 duplicate

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your answer and your efforts.

> Let me know if you need any assistance and if the issue was solved.

It's a very partial temporary fix.
Yes, it does temporarily fix only the "Form: Required message" string missing, when we add a new Form widget.

But...
1/ It does not fix the display of this missing strings on existing Form widgets on existing pages.
2/ It does not fix the issue of the "Form: Email subject" string displayed twice (either for new or existing Form widgets).
3/ It's a temporary fix that will be overwritten by the next WPML update.

And I add this reminder because:
1/ you're not the first one who gives me a fix that has already been overwritten by the last 3 WPML updates...

2/ as long as you guys who have answers can't convince the dev team to do their job and add them in WPML, I can't consider anything fixed as it will always be broken 1 month after.

Thanks!

Is there any issue on the "Success message"?

What do you mean?
There's no email_subject_2 in the Form widget.
Is it really an active functionality or just some code not removed from an old feature or from tests from Elementor?

And in any case, even if you have a valid reason to keep it (which I still need to understand), you need to differentiate them. You can't have 2 strings with no way to differentiate which one is for what, so be able to find the one you're looking for. Otherwise you can't do any translation.

Ok, thanks, it works.

Ok.

> 3- There is a 2nd email subject in Elementor but it's hidden. It can be customized

Ok, seen.

Thanks for your answers.
Finally... after 6 months and 5 versions of WPML, the fix is in production!
Issue closed.

Thanks Andreas for your efforts!
