 * Hello,
    I translated my website [http://www.justinecofoundation.com](http://www.justinecofoundation.com)(
   English) in French: [http://www.justinecofoundation.com.fr](http://www.justinecofoundation.com.fr).
   I am at the moment fundraising for my NGO on these 2 websites, so I first created
   a donation form into the English version, that I translated into French on the
   French version of the website, using a multilingual plugin. The thing is the 
   2 forms are not synchronized; when people give 50 dollars on the French version,
   we can’t see it in the donation progress of the English version, same the other
   way around. How can I synchronized the 2 donations forms? Is there a particular
   option? Thank you in advance for your help, very much appreciated!

 * Hi there,
 * The way most all multi-language sites approach this when they have to have duplicate
   forms is to DISABLE the goals on the individual forms, and use our `[give_totals]`
   shortcode. See our docs here:
    [https://givewp.com/documentation/core/shortcodes/give_totals](https://givewp.com/documentation/core/shortcodes/give_totals)
 * Let me know if you have additional questions.

 * Hi Matt,
    Thank you so much, it worked!!! Now just a fussy question: in the shortcode
   I’ve just added (the give_totals one), is there a way to change the color of 
   the donations progress bar? No worries if not, I am already happy like that! 
   Thank you again

 * Sorry I’ve just realised it didnt go that well: it worked on the English version,
   but not on the French version: nonetheless I used the same shortcode (give_total)
   for both of them… Can you help me please? thank you again

 * Yes, you can customize the color, but let’s get it working as intended first 
   then circle back on that.
 * Can you provide me with the following:
 * 1. A link to your English Form
    2. A link to your French Form 3. The exact shortcode
   with all attributes that you have implemented on both pages 4. Do you have other
   forms besides those two?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Matt,
    thank you for your reply. Here are my links:
 * 1. On my French version: [http://justinecofoundation.com/fr/](http://justinecofoundation.com/fr/)(
   third block), link of the donation page: [http://justinecofoundation.com/fr/faire-un-don/](http://justinecofoundation.com/fr/faire-un-don/)
 * 2. On my English version: [http://justinecofoundation.com/](http://justinecofoundation.com/)(
   third block), link of the donation page: [http://justinecofoundation.com/donation-page/](http://justinecofoundation.com/donation-page/)
 * 3. The shortcode I used:
    – English version (this one is working = total $US394.71):
   <h2>Together, let’s make our dream come true!</h2> [give_totals ids=”403, 3514″
   total_goal=”50,000″ message=”Namaste! We’ve raised US{total} of the US{total_goal}
   we are trying to raise for this campaign!” link_text=”Donate!” progress_bar=”
   true”] . [give_form id=”403″]
 * – French version (not working: total only $US344.71, the $US50 of the English
   donation form is missing): <h2>**Ensemble, faisons de notre rêve une réalité!**
   </h2>
    [give_totals ids=”3514, 403″ total_goal=”50,000″ message=”Namaste! Nous
   avons récolté US{total} des US{total_goal} visés pour notre collecte de fonds!”
   link_text=”Faire un don!” progress_bar=”true”] . [give_form id=”3514″]
 * 4. No, that the only 2 forms I have!
 * Thank you 🙂
