 * Hello,
 * as I saw, in older versions it was possible to choose a language, and then all
   elements including the “Messages” where in that language. This feature was dropped
   and I wonder how I now create multilingual forms in another language than the
   admin language?
 * Thank you,
    Sofian

 * Thank you for the quick reply and the link, I was reading this info before but
   I don’t know how it should work. I use polylang on that site, but I don’t find
   a way to create a form of another language. Can you help me one step further 
   please?

 * I’m not familiar with Polylang.
 * Can you switch the site language in Settings > General admin menu?

 * Yes I can switch, theoretically, but I surely dont want to change my whole admin
   language in order to create a form in another language. Especially when I have
   to create a form in a language I dont understand, meaning I could not work in
   my admin anymore.
 * This is not a good solution, it should be possible to create a form as it was
   done before by selecting the language of the form itself, not by switching the
   whole admin language. This would be a completely complicate and unreasonable 
   process and loss of functionality.
 * I kindly ask you to understand why this is not a proper solution and to re-integrate
   a selector to choose the language of the default form upon its creation.
 * Thank you very much for considering this improvement, or sharing light into where
   I find a proper replacement of the very good functionality that existed before.

 * I found a post that illustrates very well:
    [http://wplang.org/contact-form-multilanguage/](http://wplang.org/contact-form-multilanguage/)
 * Creating a form that is russian all over by default, was one click away.
    How
   to get there now after this button is removed?

 * I finally found a solution, the plugin “Contact Form 7 Polylang Module”.
 * Creating forms in another language than the admin language is now again possible
   upon form creation: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-how-to-create-a-new-form-in-a-language/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-how-to-create-a-new-form-in-a-language/)
 * Still I would highly appreciate to not depend on yet another plugin, but to bring
   this function back into your core, since I consider it fundamental. But also 
   I might now understand better your decision: in case that 95% of your users use
   contact form only in their native language, on monolingual websites, than it 
   is better to externalize this demand of only few multilanguage users. Yet I must
   say that without the above mentioned plugin, not bringing this option back, it
   would be an enormous regress. I hope that it is still ensured to be extendable
   in all multilanguage solutions.
 * Thank you very much and wonderful days
    Sofian
