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

Problem:
The client needed advice on translating Gravity Forms into English, German, and Czech, and inquired about the use of .po files for translations.

Solution:
We informed the client that the .PO file included with the Gravity Forms plugin is mainly for translating the plugin's static strings and does not cover the translations for the default forms. We advised the client to use the WPML plugin to translate the forms, as they already have the Gravity Forms Multilingual plugin installed. We provided a step-by-step guide on how to translate Gravity Forms:

Additionally, we mentioned that if the client has a .PO file containing the form translations, they can import it via

WPML > String Translation

in the Import / export .PO section, which will apply the translations to the form.

If this solution is not relevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly suggest 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. If further assistance is needed, please contact us in the WPML support forum.

Hello, I work on a website where the main language is Slovak, I need advice on the translation of Gravity form.

I have the Gravity Forms Multilingual plugin installed.

How could I set (import?) translations for forms into English, German, Czech? Are ready-made .po files available? How should I use them?

Thanks, Roman

Hello Roman,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

The Gravity Forms plugin does include a .PO file, but it's primarily for translating the plugin's static strings and doesn't cover the default forms created with Gravity Forms.

However, since the Gravity Form multilingual plugin is installed on your site, you can easily translate the Form using the WPML plugin. Please check the guide below to understand the overall procedure of translating the form.

But, if you have a .PO file that contains the Form translation, you can easily import it via WPML > String Translation in the Import / export .PO section. After the import, the translation will be applied to the form accordingly.

I hope I'm able to clarify things for you. But, feel free to let me know if you need further assistance in this matter. I will be happy to help.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
