Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the Formidable Forms plugin validation messages. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link.
Symptoms:
I expected to see text such as 'First Name cannot be blank.' translated according to the translations set in 'Forms > Settings > Translate Form'. Instead, I got the English default text at all times.
Questions:
Why are the Formidable Forms validation messages not translating?
How can I ensure the validation messages are translated as expected?
You can translate the Formidable form messages/errors in WPML -> Strings Translation.
1. Go to WPML → String Translation and use the In domain drop-down menu to select the formidable domain.
2. Click on the plus icon next to the message strings to add your translations.
Please read our guide about working with the Formidable plugin.
If not done yet, please update WPML and Strings Translation to their latest versions and see if it helps to fix the problem. We have recently released WPML 4.6.14 and Strings Translation 3.2.15. If you don't see the updates to our plugins, please click the "Check for updated button on your site here.
