Background of the issue:
I am trying to achieve automatic translation of the shortcode [gravityform id="1" title="false" description="false" ajax="true"].

Symptoms:
The shortcode is incorrectly translated, resulting in 'falsch' instead of 'false' in the title parameter.

Questions:
Why is the 'title' parameter in the shortcode being translated to 'falsch'?
How can I prevent the 'title' parameter from being translated?

We can give you guys access to investigate the problem. Please open the ability to add credentials.

The problem is the following:
The shortcode
[gravityform id="1" title="false" description="false" ajax="true"]

Gets translated into:
[gravityform id="1" title="falsch" description="false" ajax="true"]

Though these parameters should NEVER get translated, because these are true/false only.

Hello Shekhar,

Thank you. My client does not want me to share the installation.

Could you provide a WP installation with Automatic Translation enabled from your side? I can than replicate the issue in that test.

Kind regards

So I uploaded GF, made simple form, added in Sample page.

hidden link

I added on the English page:
[gravityform id="1" title="false" description="false" ajax="true"]

After that I automatic translated the page to FR and DE.

Now you can see here that it adds the wrong parameter:
FR: [gravityform id="1" title="faux" description="false" ajax="true"]
DE: [gravityform id="1" title="FALSCH" description="false" ajax="true"]

Hope you guys get into it and fix it 🙂
