Caldera Forms Translation

Why are there so many bad experiences here with this translation plugin for Caldera Forms? Maybe it’s a bit misleading that there is a notice that says that this plugin would be compatible with WPML? My experience is that it works well with the free Polylang plugin. Only it doesn’t work for the message when sending a form successfully. Maybe this is because that is not a form field? This can still be solved by using a filter script in the functions.php of the used theme. Even for a plugin that is more than 3 years old I think it deserves at least 5 stars. But in combination with free Polylang!

I say this, on a positive note, because I have it working well in combination with WPML. I won’t say it’s brilliant, as I like it to be from Caldera looking at the Forms UI and UX, but I realised that making a form for each language separately wasn’t the answer to my predicament of servicing three languages (originally four). I got it to work, it needed some tweaking in the form as well -Auto Responder in three languages and a two conditions (to serve English or German or not at all, which would be our default: Dutch)- and that’s all. Some more attention to Translations would be appreciated from Caldera after reading the other reviews.

Buggy for a long time.

Unfortunately it just doesn’t work. Hopefully it will work in the future with PolyLang.

I don’t like giving negative reviews. But because I love Caldera Forms so much, I am hoping this is rather considered as positive crit rather than a negative review. While it is great that you offer a free translation plugin ( I was soooo excited), it is very confusing and not user friendly at all. I do believe, if you used this plugin to rather bridge the gap between PolyLang or WPML or other translation plugins, it would be WAAAAY better. As it stands, maintaining translations is time consuming. Now to create a translation on every form and field… No… does not work for me. Too tedious. I landed up rebuilding my contact forms into the languages I need manually. (I have large contact forms). BUT—-Thank you for Caldra forms. The greatest form builder available.

Doesn’t work well at all. It makes the whole Caldera plugin useless for us. Waste of time. We’ll probably have to migrate to Contact Form 7 or something.
