Setting up multilanguage forms

Thank you for the quick reply and the link, I was reading this info before but I don’t know how it should work. I use polylang on that site, but I don’t find a way to create a form of another language. Can you help me one step further please?

Yes I can switch, theoretically, but I surely dont want to change my whole admin language in order to create a form in another language. Especially when I have to create a form in a language I dont understand, meaning I could not work in my admin anymore.

This is not a good solution, it should be possible to create a form as it was done before by selecting the language of the form itself, not by switching the whole admin language. This would be a completely complicate and unreasonable process and loss of functionality.

I kindly ask you to understand why this is not a proper solution and to re-integrate a selector to choose the language of the default form upon its creation.

Thank you very much for considering this improvement, or sharing light into where I find a proper replacement of the very good functionality that existed before.

I finally found a solution, the plugin “Contact Form 7 Polylang Module”.

Creating forms in another language than the admin language is now again possible upon form creation: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-how-to-create-a-new-form-in-a-language/

Still I would highly appreciate to not depend on yet another plugin, but to bring this function back into your core, since I consider it fundamental. But also I might now understand better your decision: in case that 95% of your users use contact form only in their native language, on monolingual websites, than it is better to externalize this demand of only few multilanguage users. Yet I must say that without the above mentioned plugin, not bringing this option back, it would be an enormous regress. I hope that it is still ensured to be extendable in all multilanguage solutions.

Thank you very much and wonderful days
