Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	In WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation, I have set "Forms (metform-form)" to "Translatable, only show translated items". Now translate your forms at Metform > Forms. Note that your translated forms will have a unique Shortcode. You will need to manually place the proper shortcode on each page in each language.

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	First, make sure that the form is translated to 100% inside the WPML Translation Editor. While being on your form list, switch the language inside the top admin bar to "Greek". Now you should see the Greek forms and their shortcodes.

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Please edit the original form, save it again, and then update the translation to 100%. If this does not solve the issue, I'd like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate the issue further. You'll find the necessary fields below the comment section if you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide will be private, meaning only you and I can see and access it. IMPORTANT Please be sure to create a backup of the website and database before granting us access. If you don't see the "wp-admin / FTP" fields, your login credentials for the post and website will be set to "PUBLIC." Do NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Sadly, it appears that MetForm is not compatible with the WPML Translation Editor. You will need to use the WordPress Editor as a translation method and then create each form in Elementor. Guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ Note that WPML had compatiblity addon various other form plugins, like Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WP Forms, or Ninja Forms. Source: https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/form/ What you could do in this case is reach out to the MetForm Team and ask them to join our compatibility program: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	I would suggest that you first try to translate the form using the WordPress Editor as a translation method - specifically, creating a Greek form in Elementor. Guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ You will then have a Greek form with a unique shortcode that you can place on the Greek page. After that, scan MetForm for new strings at WPML > Theme & Plugin Localization and revise WPML > String Translation for strings coming from MetForms that would allow you to translate form settings or messages. I can offer at this step to take another look at the site, if you would like to provide me access again, just make sure first that you have a translated form in the Greek language. I will leave this ticket open for the next 14 days. If these suggestions do not solve the issue, it might be worthwhile to use a compatible form plugin, such as Contact Form 7 or WP Forms. Further, you might consider contacting MetForms and asking them if they have any plans to make their plugin compatible with WPML. They could join our compatibility program for this purpose: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/
