Background of the issue:
I am trying to resolve translation issues with the WPML plugin for my website, including translating labels like 'Contact Us' and 'submit,' fixing errors when installing multi-language contact forms, ensuring HTML tags (like span) translate correctly, and finding missing texts across all languages. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link. I have also provided a video link for further details: hidden link.

Symptoms:
The 'Contact Us' and 'Place Order' names are not changing when switching languages. Errors occur when trying to install the plugin for multi-language contact forms. HTML tags, specifically span tags, are not translating. Some texts are missing from all languages, leading to SEO issues.

Questions:
How can I resolve the translation issues with labels like 'Contact Us' and 'submit'?
What steps should I take to fix errors when installing multi-language contact forms?
How can I ensure HTML tags, like span, translate correctly?
How do I find and fix missing texts across all languages?

Hi,

thanks for contacting us.

To correctly translate forms from Contact Form 7, you need to install the glue plugin Contact Form 7 Multilingual.

Also please note:
1. you're running an old version of WPML not compatible with WordPress 6.6.+
2. you WP Memory Limit (2G) can't exceed the PHP Memory Limit (256M)

Hi laura ,

I am using the latest versions of both WPML and WordPress, but I am unable to install the Contact Form 7 Multilingual plugin from my Commercial tab. Could you please assist with this?

Additionally, I am unable to find some ACF fields in another language. Even after translating them via WPML's String Translation and enabling translation mode in ACF fields, they are still not visible in the other language.

Could you please help me resolve this issue as well?

Thank you.

Hi there.

Per our Support Policy, we can handle only one issue per ticket.

Continuing with one issue per ticket helps not only supporters to focus on one issue at once, but also enables other users to find solutions to their questions faster.

So let's resolve the issue with the Contact Form 7 Multilingual add-on and can you please open a new individual ticket for each unique issue that you are experiencing so that we can properly tackle them one by one?

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

Now, regarding downloading and installing the Contact Form 7 Multilingual add-on, if you can't do it from inside your site's backend (I am not sure what error you receive when you try to download it but it could be happening due to server restrictions or similar situations), then you could also download it from here (https://wpml.org/download/contact-form-7-multilingual/?section=changelog) > then go to your site's backend > Plugins > Add new > Upload > and upload the zip file you downloaded > then install and activate it.

Please let me know if you managed to install and activate the add-on this time.

Subject: Issue with Translating ACF Fields in WPML

Dear WPML Support Team,

I am encountering an issue with translating some of the ACF fields on my website. I have created several ACF fields, but while some of them translate correctly, others do not. I have already installed the required ACF-related translation plugin named Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual, but the issue persists.

To better explain the problem, I have recorded a video demonstrating the issue and attached it to this ticket.

I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue as soon as possible. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
