Background of the issue:
I've added editors as both translators and translation managers, but they are labeled as 'false' translation managers. Also, they can't translate WPForms forms.

Symptoms:
Translation managers are labeled as 'false'.

Questions:
Why are translation managers labeled as 'false'?
Why can't editors translate WPForms forms?

Yes, first name, last name and email are correctly added. We've used WPML for a few years and these editors have been Translation Managers for a while without being labeled as "false". This issue occurred after the latest update to WP 6.8.1 and the latest verions of the WPML plugins.

Hello,

Our 2nd-tier specialist found that the label 'false' is appearing because the site has disabled user profile pictures.

Here you have two options:
- Ignore the false label
- Enable the user profile pictures

Regards,
Carlos
