Translating validation messages

    Hi,

    I want to switch to Everest Forms on a multilanguage web site but I have a problem with the translation of the validation messages translation.

    When you click on Settings > Validations you can fill 4 input with the message you want to display when a field is not correctly filled.
    But since this option is separated from the forms in themsleves then I can’t set specific messages for each language.

    It seems that polylang is unable to retrieve the strings in database. Is there a way to handle that situation without modifying the plugin using WPML icl_register_string (https://wpml.org/documentation/support/translation-for-texts-by-other-plugins-and-themes/) for example.

    Thank you for your answer.

    Regards,

    Hi @cci89wpxpert,

    For now, please can you create a file inside the everest-forms folder named as wpml-config.xml and then, paste the below code in that file:

    <wpml-config>
<admin-texts>
<key name="everest_forms_required_validation"/>
<key name="everest_forms_url_validation"/>
<key name="everest_forms_email_validation"/>
<key name="everest_forms_number_validation"/>
<key name="everest_forms_confirm_validation"/>
<key name="everest_forms_fileextension_validation"/>
<key name="everest_forms_filesize_validation"/>
</admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

    Now after that change is done, can you visit the String Translation page provided via the multilingual plugin used in your site to translate the string as needed?

    We will update with the fix on this as soon as possible. So, thank you for your patience.

    Thanks!

    Namaste,
    Yes actually using WPML .xml file at the root of the plugin looks like a much better solution.
    I’m gonna try this and confirm you that I can translate the strings.

    Thank you for this fast answer anyway !
