Hello. I translate my site from French to English. I want to add a translated MailPoet subscription forms to the lateral sidebar of my posts. I have created 2 versions of the form with MailPoet. I don't know how to add the English version on the English side. Currently, the French version if showing on both En & FR sides. I used a widget to embed the French version.
Is there any documentation that you are following?

Hello,
Are the forms added by placing a shortcode?
In this case, each form would have an individual shortcode that needs to be placed on each post, page, or template manually.
Now, if you use a widget in a sidebar or footer, then you should try to translate the widget and its shortcode with WPML String Translation or you could instead simply create one widget per language.
I tried translating the widget with String Translation, but I'm not getting anywhere.
Could you log-in and have a closer look?
I can send you a temp login link in private.

Hello,
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better for a testing site where the issue is replicated.
You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.
IMPORTANT
Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access.
If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link
The steps are also shown in this video: hidden link
Do you really need the ftp details? Can I simply send you a temp login link created with "Temporaire Login Without Password" plugin? It would be som much simpler. I just want to make sure this Reply box is really private before pasting the link here.
If not, I'll search for the ftp details tomorrow...
I still don't know how to implement different language subscription form widgets in the lateral bar of my single posts. As you van see the attached screenshots, only the French subscription form is showing on both FR & EN sides.
I know I used to have it set up correctly, but I made some changes to my site recently and inadvertently stopped displaying the lateral bar on posts for a while (through the theme customizer). Now I can't get the En subscription form to display on EN posts anymore.
As you can see in the 3rd screenshot, if I go to add the subscription form widget to EN posts through the costumizer, I still see the FR version in the sidebar. If I make the change, the EN widget then shows up on FR side too.
So how to embed the proper EN widget on the EN posts?

Hello,
You currently had one form widget, that is set to show the FR form and on the widget's settings, you selected that this form should be displayed in all languages.
As this widget does not contain strings and simply selects the form to display on the site, you need to assign it to display the language French. Then create a second widget for the English form and assign it to display language English.
See screenshot.
Take note, that there are actually two Blocks available for the Mailchimp widget - it appears that one of the is a legacy widget, which will not work as expected, as the forms will show up in both languages.
You need to choose the new block widget "Formulaire d’abonnement MailPoet".
Ah! Thanks to your patience and some further pocking around, I finally understood where to embed & select the language for the forms. I was initially adding the forms through the theme customizer. From there, only the legacy widget was available.
Now I only need to figure out how to remove the empty space above the forms. But that's another department...
