 * I’ve seen many threads about this, but I can’t get it to work.
 * What’s the lightest way to make WPML swallow that weird dash this plugin is using
   for translations?

   Translation:[https://snipboard.io/1Idyzg.jpg](https://snipboard.io/1Idyzg.jpg)
   The website’s page is in french:[https://www.magikweb.net/master/](https://www.magikweb.net/master/)
   We’re trying to make that <option> work in two languages (FR and EN).
 * 
   We tried using first_as_label, but that seems like it hardcodes a value (we 
   need the value to change depending on the page’s language). Correct us if that’s
   not what this option does.

 * Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I understand.
 * 
   CF7 forms should be translated like post types, so the french form will have:
   first_as_label “—Veuillez choisir une option—”While another form for the english
   side would have:first_as_label “—Please choose an option—”(or include_blank since
   it’s always english)
