Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support. Could you please try to follow the below steps and let me know how it goes: 1. Please make sure to Install/activate the Contact Form 7 Multilingual plugin on your site which is required, if the WPML is registered properly then you should be able to install it from Plugins >> Add New Plugin > Commercial tab page, or directly download it from here: https://wpml.org/download/contact-form-7-multilingual/ 2. Translate the Contact Form from WPML >> Translation Management page by following this doc: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/using-contact-form-7-with-wpml/ 3. Clear all sorts of site/server/CDN cache and see if this resolves the issue. If the issue persists, please add the debug report in the Debug Information box. I have also enabled debug info box for your next reply: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ Also, please share the page link where I can see the issue. Kindly let me know the results, |

Thanks for providing the debug info and additional details. I can see the issue on this page: hidden link I tried to replicate this issue at my test site but it works correctly there as you can see in the attached screenshots. 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 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 |

Thanks for providing the login details. I noticed that Contact Form 7 requires double quotes for placeholder text, but the form was using single quotes, which caused the issue. I updated it from: [text* yourname placeholder 'YOUR NAME*'] to: [text* yourname placeholder "YOUR NAME*"] Then I retranslated the form, and now the translation appears correctly on the frontend. Could you please check and confirm if the placeholder translation issue is resolved? Thank you for your cooperation |
