[Waiting for user confirmation] Not all strings in Gravity Forms are picked up for translation
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
Elementor users - please update WPML to the latest version to maintain compatibility. More details here - https://wpml.org/changelog/2024/12/wpml-4-6-15-critical-update-for-elementor-sites/
Background of the issue:
I have a website using Beaver Builder and Gravity Forms. I am trying to translate all strings in Gravity Forms using WPML. Please see the forms on hidden link and the contact form on each of the Careers pages, e.g. hidden link.
Symptoms:
Not all strings in Gravity Forms are picked up for translation. The name fields, such as First and Last, as well as Required, Enter Email, Confirm Email, etc., cannot be translated. Many fields remain in English and do not get taken up for translation into any of the other target languages.
Questions:
Why are some strings in Gravity Forms not being picked up for translation?
How can I ensure all fields in Gravity Forms are translatable using WPML?
I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.
Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.
Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.
✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.
Hello,
My name is Carlos and I will continue working on this ticket because my colleague Kor is on vacation.
I have checked the issue and I can see all strings from the Contact Form in String Translation, under the gravityforms domain: hidden link
I added the language code at the end of each string so you can find it easier in String Translation, also you can confirm the 'translated strings' with the language code at the end in the frontend: hidden link
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Regards,
Carlos
The only strings that remain untranslated and untranslatable are "Choose file" and "Max file size" on the file submission part - see "Import / export .po" in the attached screenshot.
