Hi Issam,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I’m happy to help you with this issue.

I see the options From Email and From Name are saved to the option name "wp_mail_smtp" in the database. So it can be translated by using this custom XML configuration code in WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration tab

<wpml-config>
    <admin-texts>
        <key name="wp_mail_smtp">
          <key name="mail">          
            <key name="from_email" />
            <key name="from_name" />
            <key name="from_email_force" />            
          </key>
        </key>
    </admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/translate-strings-in-wp-options-table/

However, I've tested to translate the From Email option and see that it isn't possible to send by another email address because it is configured by the third-party app.

I hope that makes sense.
