[Resolved] WP Forms user Activation Emails Not Translating

Your site is not using the latest version of WPForms. Also, some other plugins are not updated.

Can you please update all plugins and then test again by creating a new user and confirm if the issue persists?

If this will not solve the issue, please install the latest version of "WPForms User Registration" on the following test site and try to replicate the issue:

Thank you very much for your cooperation!

The sandbox can sadly not send out emails but I have installed an email logging plugin.

I then registered on hidden link

I can confirm that the admin notification in this case is sent in German languages, even if the admin uses a different language on the profile like for example English.

I completely understand that in this case the emails are supposed to be sent in the English language to the admin and in the current site language (German) to the client.

I will be escalating this issue internally for further revision and then get back to you.

We would like to provide a workaround that will register the strings again and then allow you to translate them.

You can place this snippet inside the functions.php file of the theme or use a Code Snippet Plugin.

It would be recommended to install the Hello Elementor Child Theme and place the code into the functions.php file as if you would use the parent theme, the changes will be overwritten if you update the theme.

or

Code Snippets Plugin:

Here is the snippet:

add_filter( 'wpforms_user_registration_email_notifications_after_activation_user_email', function( $email ) {
	if ( ! empty( $email['address'] ) ) {
		do_action( 'wpml_switch_language_for_email', $email['address'] );
	}

	// Apply translation manually
	$email['subject'] = apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $email['subject'], 'wpforms-41', 'setting-registration_email_user_after_activation_subject' );
	$email['message'] = apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $email['message'], 'wpforms-41', 'setting-registration_email_user_after_activation_message' );

	return $email;
}, 5 );

Now go again to WPML > String Translation and you should find newly registered strings inside a wp-forms text domain called 'wpforms-41'.

Let us know if you need assistance with applying this workaround.

The issue has been escalated to the development team for further integration inside the WP Forms Multilingual Addon.
