Problem: You are trying to translate the placeholder text in Contact Form 7 using WPML, but the placeholder does not appear on the translation page as expected. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend checking the syntax used for your placeholders. Contact Form 7 requires double quotes for placeholder text. For example, if your form code looks like this:
[text* yourname placeholder 'YOUR NAME*']
You should update it to:
[text* yourname placeholder "YOUR NAME*"]
After updating, retranslate the form. This should resolve the issue and the translated placeholder should appear correctly on the frontend.

We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
Problem: The client is experiencing a 'Download failed. (Forbidden)' error when attempting to update or download WPML plugins, even after deregistering and registering the sitekey. Solution: 1. Revalidate your domain with your sitekey by navigating to https://wpml.org/account/sites/ and copying the sitekey created for your domain. Then, go to WP > Plugins > Add new > Commercial Tab > Deregister and register the sitekey again. 2. If the issue persists, manually install the plugin. Download WPML manually by visiting https://wpml.org/account/downloads/, scroll down, and click on 'Download WPML manually'. Then, in your WP dashboard, navigate to WP > Plugins > Add new and upload the downloaded zip file directly.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution becomes outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still encounter problems, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
