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

Problem:
The client is unable to translate the form fields of WPForms using WPML String Translation as they do not appear in the translation interface.
Solution:
1. Access the

wpml-forms-config.xml

file located in

.../wp-content/plugins/wpml-wpforms/

.
2. Edit line 57 of the file.
3. Replace the existing

<property>code</property>

with the following code block:

<property>code</property><br /><property>address1_placeholder</property><br /><property>address2_placeholder</property><br /><property>city_placeholder</property><br /><property>postal_placeholder</property><br /><property>state_placeholder</property><br /><property>country_placeholder</property>

4. Make a minor change to your form and attempt to translate it again. This should allow the previously missing address fields to appear for translation.

If this solution does not seem relevant to your issue, please open a new support ticket with us.

I have escalated this ticket to our compatibilitly team because I was able to reproduce this in a clean install. I will update here once I have more information.

I believe the following will resolve the issue. Please open .../wp-content/plugins/wpml-wpforms/wpml-forms-config.xml file.
Edit line 57.

Change:

<property>code</property>

For:


	<property>code</property>
			<property>address1_placeholder</property>			
			<property>address2_placeholder</property>
			<property>city_placeholder</property>
			<property>postal_placeholder</property>
			<property>state_placeholder</property>
			<property>country_placeholder</property>

Then make a small change to your form and translate it again. Do you know see the address fields that weren’t there previously?
