Problem: The client faced two issues with WPForms translations: 1. A specific sentence in the form locker was not appearing for translation. 2. A field value translated in the form preview reverted to English in the email notifications.
Solution: For the first issue, we suggested checking the WPML documentation on translating WPForms locker addon messages and making adjustments to the
1
wpml-config.xml
file. After updating the file, the missing string appeared, and the client was able to translate it into various languages. For the second issue, after re-editing the string with no success initially, adjustments were made to the
1
wpml-config.xml
file, which resolved the problem. The client confirmed that the translation was successful and planned final testing.
