[Resolved] Translate WPForms locker addon message

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

Problem:
If you're unable to translate HTML messages set in WPForms Locker addon or other WPForms addon message fields, and you've checked for the string without success, you might consider modifying the XML configuration.
Solution:
We recommend following these steps:
1. Edit the 

wpml-config.xml

file.
2. Add the following code:

<property>form_locker_user_message</property>

underneath this line:

<property>form_pages_footer</property>

3. Update the form.
4. Send the form to translation.
These steps resolved the issue in our sandbox testing environment.

If this solution does not apply because it might be outdated or not suitable for your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 at WPML support forum.

Hello, I'm unable to traslate html message set in WPForms locker addon (but also for other WPForms addon message fields).
I've multilingual addon and I've checked to find string, but without success.
Maybe I have to set it with XML <wpml-config>?

I attach an image.

Many thanks.
Marco

Hello Osama, thanks for your reply.
I've installed WPForms locker addon on a Test Form, but it works only with PRO feature.

Hi Osama, thanks for your support.

Yes, seems it works!! 🙂

I've updated wpml-forms-config.xml in /wp-content/plugins/wpml-wpforms/ folder.

So, please could you confirm next steps?

Because in WPForms string text are not only in Form Locker addon user message, but also in other places, I have to check web elements with F12 reading name="settings[STRING]"

For example in Form Locker:

  • Form Message Verification: form_locker_password_message
  • Module programming Message: form_locker_schedule_message
  • Module Message restriction: form_locker_user_message (THIS CASE)
  • Limits and restrictions on entry: form_locker_entry_limit_message
  • form_locker_user_entry_message_limited

    • But, maybe also in Form Pages, if I want to translate:

  • Form Page Title: form_pages_title
  • Form Page Message: form_pages_description

    • All these examples I have to add in XML file as indicated <property>STRING</property>, isn't it?

    Many thanks, Marco

    Hi Marco,

    It's great to hear that the workaround fixed the issue. I think the XML code would help you translate the strings you mentioned.

    Could you please try to add XML code for them using the steps in my last reply and let me know if that fixed your issue?

    Kind regards,
    Osama

    Hi Osama.

    I've added this in XML and it works with Form Locker:

    <property>form_pages_title</property>
    <property>form_pages_description</property>
    <property>form_pages_footer</property>
    <property>form_locker_password_message</property>
    <property>form_locker_schedule_message</property>
    <property>form_locker_user_message</property>
    <property>form_locker_entry_limit_message</property>
    <property>form_locker_user_entry_message_limited</property>

    I tried also to add this in order to have the link to open English Form Page version:
    <property>form_pages_page_slug</property>

    Italian Form Page: hidden link

    But if I try to open English: hidden link
    I receive error 404 page not found.
    I also tried with slug en/form-suggestion , but with same results.
    So i can't see if traslation works at all with Form Pages.

    How may I fix it?

    Many thanks, Marco.
