    Hi,

    I have started using WPForms on a clients multilingual website (Divi theme, WPML translation plugin) and it works fine (except for loads of SPAM even with anti spam plugin).

    When my client receives form entries via e-mail all the general texts (your name, your email, etc.) are in English and not in the language of the page the form was send from (English, Dutch, Spanish of German).

    I have checked WPML String Translations and ‘cannot find string translation’ option, but I cannot find these texts. Are they translatable?

    Many thanks,
    Margriet | Buro RaDer

  • Hi

    Sorry to hear that you’ve received spam!

    In WPForms Lite, we have a built-in anti-spam option which is enabled by default in the form builder > Settings > General (see screenshot here).

    We also have integration with Google’s free reCAPTCHA service. In case it helps, here’s a detailed tutorial on how to set up reCAPTCHA in WPForms.

    And if you’d prefer not to use reCAPTCHA, we have another anti-spam protection feature, hCaptcha. This is a good option if you’d prefer not to sign up for Google’s reCAPTCHA service. Within your forms, hCaptcha will display a checkbox asking users to prove they’re human (much like Google’s v2 Checkbox reCAPTCHA). We have a detailed guide for setting up hCaptcha.

    Alternatively, you can consider the third-party plugins such as WordPress Zero Spam or Spam protection, AntiSpam, FireWall by CleanTalk which work out of the box to protect your forms against spam.

    Regarding the Translations:
    In order to translate WPForms from your end, I’d recommend checking out our tutorial. That should hopefully share all of the details you’d need to get up and running with a new language in your forms

    Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    Google’s v2 Checkbox reCAPTCHA had now been installed and ‘only’ still 5 spam messages a day so that is ok.

    Can you please confirm that I should use Loco Translate to translate to texts my client sees in the entry emails? Just want a confirmation before spending time on this.

    Many thanks,

    Besides: Can you please confirm that I should use Loco Translate to translate to texts my client sees in the entry emails? Just want a confirmation before spending time on this.

    I also would like to know if with Loco Translate I would be able to translate texts like error messages such as “This field is required.”?

    Many thanks,

    Hi @margrietburorader — Currently, we don’t have the option to translate the content of the email notifications directly.

    If you’d like to translate the form notification text to a single language, you may want to create a separate form for each language on your site.

    Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Ok – thanks – will contact my client and propose this solution.

    Hi @margrietburorader — No problem ??

    Have a good one!

    Hi @margrietburorader — We haven’t heard back from you in about a week, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.

    Thanks!
