fredericP-18	Hello, I'm taking the liberty of contacting you because when I start using WPML to translate a website, I'll have a few questions to make sure I'm following the best practices. 1. WP Form translation On the contact page of my website, I have a WP Form. From WPML -> Manage translations I'm able to translate this form. However, I can't find the auto-response email I set up, so I get an English form but the email sent is still in French. I can find this email from WMPL -> String Translations, but I can't seem to access the automatic translation, so I have to copy/paste the html in English myself or copy/paste the French version. Can you tell me what to do? Especially as I usually have my translations checked by a translator, so I need to be able to include him in the process? 2. Image translation I have some images with text on my website. I need two different images in French and English. I seem to have found an article in which you talk about installing WPML Media Translation. Is this the right solution for this problem? And can you help me understand the process to be followed between the translator and the desginer to gain in efficiency? 3. Language selector Finally, once the translations are complete, I'd like to add a language selector to the header of my website. However, I haven't managed to find out how to activate this option? Do you have any documentation on this subject? Thank you in advance for your help, Sincerely

We have a glue plugin that helps translate WP Forms with WPML https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/creating-multilingual-forms-using-wpforms-and-wpml/#:~:text=Start%20by%20going%20to%20WPML,click%20Add%20to%20Translation%20Queue. Check the above documentation and let us know if this helps. 2. Yes, if you need a different image for the translation you can use WPML Media Translation as described here https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/media-translation/#using-different-images-and-media-across-languages 3. I recommend first going to WPML->languages->widget language switcher as sometimes the header location is available in the widget language switcher. If that does not work then you can add the switcher in the header using the steps from the following documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/adding-language-switchers-using-php-and-shortcodes/
