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

Problem:
The client had translated their entire site using WPML, including wpforms. However, they noticed that certain items such as the calendar format and dropdown options were not translated, even after scanning the theme strings and wpform plugin strings.

Solution:
We recommended that the client make a small update to the form and then resend it for translation via WPML > Translation Management. This action often helps in displaying any content that hasn't been translated yet. If the issue persisted, we offered to perform a closer inspection by requesting temporary access to the client's site, including wp-admin and FTP. We also mentioned the possibility of installing a plugin like "Duplicator" or "All in One WP Migration" to replicate the site locally for troubleshooting, with the assurance that the local site would be deleted once the problem was resolved. We emphasized the importance of the client backing up their site files and database before providing access and ensuring that the private box for sensitive information was enabled.

If the provided solution is not relevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also 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 further assistance is needed, please do not hesitate to contact us by opening a new ticket in the WPML support forum: https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/.

I had WPML translated the full site and went through all translations to review.
the wpforms are translated but not the items such as calendar format and dropdown items.
i have scanned the full theme strings as well as all wpform plugin strings.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with the first debugging steps and try to help with the issue quickly.

Go to WPML > Translation Management> Select the form and send it for translation to your self. Go to WPML > Translations > Take and translate. WPML ATE translation editor will open, use the search form from the top to search for the dropdown option.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Drazen

Hi Drazen,

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, this didn't work. I only have 2 Surveys and I moved them both to manual translation. The dropdown option still remain uneditable.

Thanks,
Leon

Hi Leon,
I hope you're doing well. I have taken over this ticket and would be happy to assist you in this matter.

I tested this in my development environment and confirmed that the dropdown options are appearing correctly in the Translation Editor. Please take a look at this screenshot: hidden link

Could you please make a small update to the form and then resend it for translation via WPML > Translation Management? This often helps in displaying any content that hasn't been translated yet.

But, if the issue persists, a closer inspection will be required to understand the root cause of the issue.

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 to have a testing site where the issue is replicated.

You will find the needed fields 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.

Maybe I'll need to replicate your site locally. For this, I’ll need to temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” or "All in One WP Migration" on your site. This will allow me to create a copy of your site and your content. Once the problem is resolved I will delete the local site. Let me know if this is ok with you.

IMPORTANT
-Please backup 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:

Looking forward to your response.

Best Regards,
