I have another issue with this page, each section has a "pen" button so users can edit their fields, each of these buttons trigger a Jetformbuilder (which is already translated) I selected the french version of the form by editing the french page template with Elementor, but when i test the front end, it shows the english version.
When I try to edit the buttons in the french version of the profile page (hidden link) the dropdown only whos in english, although I already translated the popup I am searching for to french.
Even by doing this, it should be done automatically, I should not have to translate popups and then link them manually one by one, I have over 29 per language, is going to take me forever, it should be done automatically. I had to switch to wordpress editor because i though it was the only option but I feel this should be handled by the plugin.
Thanks for your reply. I’ve checked and it seems that the setup is quite complex. Could you please install the necessary plugins on our sandbox site here hidden link and try to replicate the issue there?
Once the issue is replicated, I’ll review it and escalate it to our 2nd Tier Support if needed.
No problem. I’ve installed the following tools on the site:
Theme: Kava (from Crocoblock)
Plugins: JetEngine, JetFormBuilder, JetPopups, and Elementor
Context:
I created a form in English called “Edit Profile”, and added it inside a popup built with Elementor under the JetPopups structure, named “Edit General Employee”.
Then, I added a button on the homepage that triggers this popup using the JetPopup action (it’s not a regular Elementor popup — you have to go to Button > Advanced > JetPopup and select the popup “Edit General Employee”).
In the WPML settings, I selected JetPopups, JetEngine, and JetFormBuilder as Translatable.
From here, I ran the Automatic Translation on my original site, but I couldn’t proceed on this staging site because it requires a credit card.
Please let me know how you’d like to proceed.

Expected issue from the original site:
Once the button is translated, users should be able to click it on the French version of the site and see the french popup with the french form inside.
The problem I’m seeing is that this doesn’t work properly, and the system starts to bug. For example, when I try to edit the English page that contains the button and open the JetPopup settings inside the button, the dropdown for selecting popups sometimes shows the French popups instead of the English ones. This creates confusion and affects the original (English) setup as well.
Then, when I edit the French version of the page and try to assign the French popup to the button, the JetPopup dropdown sometimes doesn’t show the translated popup at all. Other times it lets me select it, but the front-end action doesn’t work — meaning that when someone clicks the French button, the popup doesn’t open with the French form.
Thanks for your reply. I’ve added a dummy ATE account so we should now be able to trigger automatic translation.
I checked this page hidden link and noticed that you added a button that opens the “Edit general Employee” JetPopup.
I’ve already translated the “Edit general Employee” JetPopup into French here hidden link
Just to confirm, are you saying that after translating the homepage into French here hidden link using the Automatic Translation, the popup button on the French version still opens the English JetPopup instead of the French one?
Not quite. After translating the page, the buttons were not linked to their respective popups, and each popup still contained the English form inside. When I tried to fix this manually, I did the following steps:
1. Ran automatic translations on all content.
2. Checked the forms — only the titles were translated, while the fields were not. When using the Advanced String Translator, none of the fields were mapped. The only solution I see is to manually rebuild the 29 forms in French by deactivating WPML String Translator for these elements (forms).
3. Added the correct form to each corresponding popup, since these did not update automatically. To verify, I checked the form title (as the fields were still untranslated).
4. When editing the button that triggers the popup, I could not see the French popups in the dropdown — only the English ones. Even when I copied and pasted the French popup title, nothing appeared. (Please see screenshot)
Summary:
1. Forms did not translated completely
2. Popup did not bring the translation of the form
3. Buttons on french side are unable to find french popups, only english
Staging Site testing:
I auto translated everything, thanks for the set up. After doing it, you can see that the french version of the site doesn't open anything, and I can't try to link the button manually because that means I would have to deactivate WPML's advanced translator.
Thanks for your reply. I'm currently on this page hidden link and when editing it with Elementor hidden link , I see what you mentioned in the attachment. You’re referring to the missing “Attached Popup” option for the French version, correct? You want this option to be automatically selected, right?
Then, when you manually select the "English language" popup (since French version is not listed), it displays the untranslated version, and you’d like it to show the French version instead, correct?

Yes, if you see, those buttons are not linked to anything, and when i try to edit the jet popup options, these won;t show the french version of popups available.

Yes, I need it to show the french version on the front end (when visiting the site in french of course). I don't mind if in the editor only shows english, but I need the french version of it on the front end for each popup, as you can see, there are several "edit" buttons on that page, all of them linked to a popup that contains a jetform.
I regret any inconvenience caused, but to proceed with troubleshooting, I kindly ask for a snapshot of the site. Alternatively, with your permission, I can create one myself. For this purpose, I typically recommend using the free plugin "Duplicator." If you're already familiar with Duplicator (https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/), please skip the following steps and simply send me the archive file you downloaded.
To guide you further, please adhere to these instructions:
1. View the Duplicator instructions video: hidden link
3. If the archive file exceeds 400MB, please use Duplicator's file filters to exclude cache, wp-uploads directory, media, and archive files.
Once you have the archive file ready, kindly share the link with us. You can utilize platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar for file sharing, as the snapshot file might be large.
Please note that your next reply will be private, visible only to you and me. You can paste the file link there. Rest assured that once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local site.
Thanks for your reply. I've tested this locally and I'm able to select the French language Jetpopup as shown in the attached screenshot. This is what I typed in the search Jetpopup form "Modifier les"
