thomasV-73	question 3 - when I was confirgurating, there were recommended 2 plugins to me: 1. Contact form 7 multilingual. 2. WPML SEO. I thought because I have the normal Contact Form 7, they recommended me the multilingual version (they didn't recommend me any other multilingual contactforms), so I downloaded it. However, this got me wondering why they recommended me the WPML SEO plugin. Is it because I have Yoast SEO installed and WPML SEO is compatible with that?

Mohamed Sayed	Hi, Some of the popular plugins require addon plugins to add multilingual features or avoid compatibility issues. WPML detects if any of those plugins are installed on your site and recommends installing the required "glue" plugin. Since you're using "Contact Form 7" & and "Yoast SEO", the setup wizard suggested installing the following plugins as they're required: - Contact Form 7 Multilingual - WPML SEO Please note that the WPML SEO add-on allows you to translate your SEO content using WPML, so it's required when using Yoast. Please check here for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/ Also, please check the following guide for more details about how to translate the forms created with Contact Form 7: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/using-contact-form-7-with-wpml/ Regards, Mohamed

thomasV-73	Thanks, I will install the WPML SEO. Do I need to keep the normal Contact form 7 and Yoast SEO active in order to work with CF7 multilingual en WPML SEO?

Mohamed Sayed	Hi, You need to keep Contact Form 7 and Yoast SEO activated because those are the main plugins. Contact Form 7 multilingual and WPML SEO are just addon plugins that add the multilingual features for the content of CF7 and Yoast plugins.
