Problem: The client needs to translate a form created with Metform into Greek, but Metform is not compatible with the WPML Translation Editor. Solution: 1) Set the 'Forms (metform-form)' to 'Translatable, only show translated items' in WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation. 2) Translate the forms directly in Metform > Forms. Each translated form will have a unique shortcode. Manually place the correct shortcode on each page for each language. 3) Use the WordPress Editor as a translation method and create each form in Elementor. Follow this guide: Using different translation editors for different pages. 4) After creating a Greek form, scan MetForm for new strings at WPML > Theme & Plugin Localization and revise WPML > String Translation for strings from MetForms. 5) If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider using a compatible form plugin such as Contact Form 7 or WP Forms, listed here: WPML compatible form plugins.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where changes made in the English version of your site do not automatically update in the Greek version, it might be due to incomplete translations. Solution: We recommend ensuring that the translation is fully completed. Check the translation editor and ensure that the translation status reaches 100% and the icon changes to a pencil symbol. This should allow the changes to synchronize correctly between the different language versions.
