francescB-10	Background of the issue: We need to translate fields and email notifications found in four forms we have created in wp-forms. We have installed WPML and WP Forms. The x4 forms have been set up, tested, and are working correctly. We want to open each form and perform a manual translation from English to Spanish and Italian. Symptoms: No specific issue or error message mentioned. Questions: What is the easiest way or best practice for translating the fields and notifications found in each form without using the translation basket?

You need to install our addon "WP Forms Multilingual" and translate the forms with Translation Management, using the WPML Translation Editor. Please read and follow this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/creating-multilingual-forms-using-wpforms-and-wpml/ Let me know if you have further questions about this topic.
