Background of the issue:
I am currently using Fluent Forms on my site hidden link. I am not satisfied with how the translated strings are handled. Throughout a form, I have questions where the options are similar, and it gets confusing to know what string I am working on.

Symptoms:
The translated strings in Fluent Forms are confusing because the options are similar, making it difficult to identify which string I am working on.

Questions:
Does WPML work better well with WPForms?
Does WPForms handle translated strings better than Fluent Forms?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

Both of these plugins are compatible with WPML and should work without issues. You can find guides and more information at the links below, which may help you decide. Unfortunately, I can’t say which one is simpler to use, as that can depend on personal preference:

- https://wpml.org/plugin/fluent-forms/
- https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/creating-multilingual-forms-using-wpforms-and-wpml/
- https://wpml.org/plugin/wpforms/

Kind regards,
Dražen
