Title: Captcha Label Shortcode Last modified: May 11, 2018 --- # Captcha Label Shortcode * [DanielJ7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielj7/) * (@danielj7) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-label-shortcode/) * Hi, I am using polylang on a site to have multilanguage options. I wanted to edit the captcha_label for the english version and the spanish version, but, since the functionality is now in the settings page, whatever new label text I use in there becomes static in a single language 🙁 I was wondering if you could revert to having the shortcode attribute available for the label on the captcha field, so I can insert the appropriate translations via the shortcode on each language-version of my contact pages? I have made the mod myself, but, of course, it will be lost when/if the plugin changes or updates. Thank you in advance!

How do you translate them? I don’t understand why the shortcode attribute was helpful for you while making your form multilingual. Or do you have multiple contact forms; one for each language? * Guido * Thread Starter [DanielJ7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielj7/) * (@danielj7) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-label-shortcode/#post-10271557) * Hi Guido, Thank you for your reply. If I leave the labels, in settings page, blank (with your greyed out default text), they automatically translate when your contact form shows up. However, if I want to change a label from its default values (and the ONLY one I need to change is the captcha label, since people find the default version confusing), and I type in the new label in the settings page, then that does NOT translate 🙁 This is why I would want to be able to set the captcha label via shortcode attributes, as opposed to via the settings page. * Plugin Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-label-shortcode/#post-10274654) * Hi, * The auto translation only works when it is translated into that language already. So only when plugin translation is available on [this page](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/very-simple-contact-form), am I right? * Guido * Thread Starter [DanielJ7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielj7/) * (@danielj7) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-label-shortcode/#post-10285020) * Yes, that is correct. Auto-translation happens IF the area on the Settings page is left blank (with your default text) AND the translation is available in the po-mo files. Once a user inserts their own customized text in the settings area, then the auto-translation does not happen for that field. I have changed the po-mo ES files to include the translation for the Privacy checkbox text, since this had not already been included, and that text did not autotranslate. However, I had no requirement to use custom text there. I imagine I could have done the same with the Cpatcha label text (just changed the strings in the GB and ES files), but I preferred to use the shortcode attribute for that, so the website owner could change that text to their liking (in both languages).

And are you willing to become a translation editor for my plugin, so you can approve Spanish translation? * Guido * Plugin Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [8 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-label-shortcode/#post-10287340) * Hi again, * Thought about it some more.. The problem with the shortcode attribute is, you cannot add an attribute for each language. So if you have a multi-language site, you must use a different form for each language, when using this atribute. * Guido * Plugin Author [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * (@guido07111975) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-label-shortcode/#post-10601061) * Hi [@danielj7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielj7/) * I’m thinking about a plugin update which includes all label (shortcode) attributes, so you will be able to change labels via attributes again, instead of the settingspage. * Guido Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Captcha Label Shortcode’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/very-simple-contact-form/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1415751) * [VS Contact Form](https://wordpress.org/plugins/very-simple-contact-form/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/very-simple-contact-form/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/very-simple-contact-form/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/very-simple-contact-form/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/very-simple-contact-form/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/very-simple-contact-form/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Guido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guido07111975/) * Last activity: [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captcha-label-shortcode/#post-10601061) * Status: not resolved
