Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the contact page using WPML and Contact Form 7 Multilingual plugin. I followed all the tutorials and YouTube videos. The issue can be seen at: hidden link

Symptoms:
Instead of seeing the translated page, I got this shortcode: [contact-form-7 id=”0dd2db4″ title=”Contact EMER”]

Questions:
Why is the contact form shortcode displaying instead of the translated form?
Are there additional steps needed beyond the tutorials to translate Contact Form 7 with WPML?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. I can see the issue on this page: hidden link

To take a closer look at this issue, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and debug the issue.

Your next answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

=== Please backup your database and website ===

✙ I would additionally need your permission to deactivate and reactivate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is essential.

Thank you

Hello,

Unfortunately, we are now working on setting up a test server. It might take a few days....

Thanks for providing the staging site access. I tested the issue in a minimal environment, and the form still didn’t render. I also deleted and reinstalled the Contact Form 7 plugin, but the issue persisted.

I noticed that, on the staging site the form doesn't render even in the default language, so I deactivated all WPML plugins to check further, but there was no change. Since the issue appears even in the default language and with WPML completely disabled, this confirms it's not related to WPML.

I recommend contacting the Contact Form 7 support team, as they might already be aware of this kind of issue.

However, if you still suspect it’s WPML-related, please try adding the form to a default language page again and let me know what happens.

Thanks for your cooperation, looking forward to your update.
