Translating GiveWP forms in English from Greek

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

Problem:
The client is unable to translate donation forms created with GiveWP using WPML on a website where the default language is Greek and wants to translate these into English.
Solution:
We recommend creating a new form in English manually. Please follow the detailed guide provided by GiveWP on how to translate forms using WPML, which can be found here: Translating GiveWP with WPML.
Additionally, be aware of a known issue that might affect the translation process, detailed here: Give Donation Fatal Error.

eleniD	Background of the issue: I have created some donation forms in Greek (default language) using GiveWP and they are displayed on a page created with Elementor using the GiveWP Form Grid widget. I want to translate these forms into English and display the English version on the English version of the page. I am using WPML to translate my website. Symptoms: I can't see any way to translate a donation form. Questions: How can I translate donation forms created with GiveWP using WPML? Is there a specific process to follow for translating GiveWP forms with WPML?

eleniD	Hello Kor, I have seen this doc but it's not providing any useful instructions. I have a list of forms that are created in Greek and I need to translate them in English. According to the link you provided (if I understand what it says) I need to create the english forms from scratch. Am I understanding this correctly?
