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

Problem:
The client has a multilingual WPForm in English and Spanish and wants all form submissions to be exported in English, even though the form might be submitted in Spanish. Currently, email notifications are in English, but the entries viewed in WPForms > View Entry and exported as an XLSX file are in Spanish.
Solution:
We explained that it is not possible to change the language of the exported entries out of the box, as the export function will export the content in the language it was submitted. The reason email notifications are in English is likely because the admin user's language is set to English, and thus admin notification emails are received in English.

If you're experiencing this issue and the provided solution does not apply to your case, or if it's outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

I have a multilingual WPForm in English and Spanish. When the form is submitted in Spanish, the email notification shows all fields (questions and responses) in English. When I go to WPForms > View Entry, it shows all fields in Spanish. When I export all entries as an XLSX file, it shows all fields in Spanish. How do I make it so that all form submissions show in English when exported to an XLSX file? I would like all exported entries to be in one language (English).

Hello,

thanks for contacting us.

I am afraid that is not possible out of the box, since as far I know export will export content how it was submitted, so if in Spanish that will be also exported.

Why you see an English email when the Spanish form is submitted, is probably you re getting an admin notification email, which is in English since your admin user has a language set as English, it is expected to be in English.

Hope this makes sense, let me know if any other questions.

Regards,
Drazen
