Forminator form translation issue

I created 4 forms: one for each language (French, German, Spanish and English). But the country selector on the first step of the forms displays countries (select field) in French only. Also, the text in the upload field is not changing.

    Hi CHA,

    Thank you for contacting us!

    1. I have checked the image upload fields, and they appear translated to me:

    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members][attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    Could you please try clearing your browser cache and test this again?

    2. As for the country list translations I’ve forwarded a request to the plugin developers and will notify you as soon as I get an update from them.

    Regards,
    Dmytro

    Hello CHA,

    Although WPML is not officially supported yet, you can still use alternative translation techniques.

    I have generated and imported the translation files, so WPML should be able to read the country list and other strings from the plugin on your site.

    Please check the German form now – I’ve translated the first few country names and “Select country” string at the beginning of the list:

    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    You can find and translate the rest of the country names in WPML >> String Translation section. Use “forminator” domain to filter the search results:

    [attachments are only viewable by logged-in members]

    Now all the countries appear as translatable:

    Hi !

    Thanks for your time and for your help.

    I did translate country names using the string translation tool for wpml and managed to translate all country names in german but when I go to the front end, country names are still in English. For example “Spain” and not “Spanien”.

      You’re welcome, CHA!

      Yes, it looks like it didn’t update. I’ve just pressed “Appliquer” and it worked:

      Please make sure to press this button under the very translation you were editing, in this case, the one which is directly under the German translation:
