 * Although I expect the translated text which I entered in the Loco Translate plugin:
 * > Danke, dass Sie uns kontaktiert haben! Wir melden uns zeitnah bei Ihnen.

 * Hi [@dakbari67](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dakbari67/),
 * Sorry for the confusion! Currently text that are saved to the database (such 
   as field labels, placeholders, and confirmation message text) cannot be translated
   in that way.
 * If you’d like to translate the form confirmation message text to a single language,
   the easiest option is to do this directly within the form builder.
 * To do this, in the form builder go to **Settings > Confirmation**, and in the**
   Message** field, add the text you’d like to display to users.
 * For more details on configuring the confirmation settings of your form, please
   see our tutorial on [how to set up form confirmation](https://wpforms.com/docs/setup-form-confirmation-wpforms/).
 * Hope this helps!
