[Resolved] How should I go about translating a Gravity Forms that is connected to MailChimp
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client needed to know if the settings for MailChimp, such as audience name and tags, associated with the translated Gravity Forms remain intact or if it's possible to 'translate' these settings as well.
Solution: We informed the client that when translating a form using the WPML editor, the form in all languages is treated as one form and adds one tag. Therefore, having different tags/settings per language is not possible. We recommended that the client should create two separate forms, one for each language, and add the specific tags in each one as a workaround.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case. If so, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

I have recently translated a client's website into French, including the Gravity Forms. These forms are integrated with MailChimp, tagging audiences with specific tags.
We aim to direct submissions from the French version of the site to a distinct MailChimp audience list.
My question is: Do the settings for MailChimp (such as audience name and tags) associated with the translated forms remain intact, or is it possible to 'translate' these settings as well?
Alternatively, should I replicate the Gravity Form, modify the MailChimp audience and tags accordingly, and then deploy it on the French site?
After translating the form, you can connect the translated form to a MailChimp list by editing the translated form in the WordPress editor.
2) Could you please share your Debug information with me?
You can read a detailed explanation about it here. (http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support)
The debug info will give me much information about how your site is configured.
I'm facing a challenge with reproducing an issue in your sandbox environment because it lacks the MailChimp add-on and an associated account. However, my primary concern isn't about an 'issue' per se, but rather about how to manage translations for Gravity Forms that are integrated with MailChimp. Specifically, my aim is to link forms to a particular MailChimp audience and assign tags to the entries for that audience list.
For forms that are translated, I would like the flexibility to tag entries differently and perhaps even select a different MailChimp list within the same account.
Could you clarify if this functionality is achievable with the current translation capabilities of Gravity Forms? Or, will I need to create a separate form for each language to accomplish this?
Hi Osama
I imported and translated the form in your sandbox environment, but did not see any MailChimp-related terms like Audience List or tags available for translation.
Can you please take it from here?
Thanks for replicating the issue. I added the tags and translated the form. (hidden link)
The form in all languages is treated like one form and adds one tag, so having tags/settings per language is not possible when translating the form using the WPML editor.
Please test adding two forms, one per language, and adding the tags in each one to see if that will be a workaround for your issue.
