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

Problem:
You need to change the French translation of form fields that were auto-translated in a WP Form on your site.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend the following steps:
1. If the Translate everything option is enabled in WPML → Translation Dashboard, please try temporarily disabling it.
2. Make a small change to your original form and update it.
3. Go to WPML → Translation Dashboard, select the form that now requires an update, and send it for translation. Choose the option to translate it yourself.
4. Go to WPML → Translations and complete the translation of the form, making any necessary adjustments.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend 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 the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

If the “Translate everything” option is enabled in WPML → Translation Dashboard, please try temporarily disabling it and then follow these steps:
1. Make a small change to your original form and update it.
2. Go to WPML → Translation Dashboard, select the form that now requires an update, and send it for translation. Choose the option to translate it yourself.
3. Go to WPML → Translations and complete the translation of the form, making any necessary adjustments.
