Formidable Polylang - Multilingual Form Integration

Formidable Polylang is an extension that integrates form creation with multilingual content management tools. This integration allows forms built with Formidable Forms to be fully translated and adapted to the language of the website managed by Polylang, improving user experience and consistency of communication on a multilingual website.

Key functionalities

• Translate field labels, descriptions, and tooltips (placeholders) directly in the Polylang interface.
• Possibility to localize selection options (select, checkbox, radio) and confirmation texts and validation messages.
• Adapting the content of emails sent from forms to the recipient's language.
• Mapping forms to specific language versions of the website and automatic switching of views based on the active Polylang language.
• Compatibility with Formidable views and reports – replicate and translate view templates for different languages.
• Support for dynamic fields and calculations in a multilingual environment, while maintaining consistent number and date formats.

Benefits for the website owner

Formidable Polylang integration simplifies form management on multilingual websites. This allows you to create a consistent contact, registration, or survey process regardless of the visitor's language. Forms' graphical and text elements remain consistent, reducing errors and increasing conversions.

• Better user experience with forms in the language your visitor speaks.
• Higher message accuracy and fewer data errors thanks to properly translated validation messages.
• Increased SEO visibility through consistent, translated content of forms and messages for each language version of the website.
• Efficient translation management: a central place in the Polylang panel for updating form texts.

Practical applications

• Multilingual company websites: contact and request for quote forms adapted to the customer's language.
• Localized online stores: returns, complaints and customer inquiry forms in local languages.
• Registrations and sign-ups for international events: registration forms with announcements and confirmations in the participants' languages.
• Surveys and opinion research: collect data in multiple languages while maintaining a uniform results structure.
• Advertising portals and catalogs: multilingual forms for adding and editing entries.

Installation and basic configuration

Polylang and Formidable Forms must be installed. Once the Formidable Polylang integration is activated, you'll have the option to map form fields with Polylang translations. In simple steps, you can copy the form structure to other languages, assign translations to individual fields, and customize the email content for each language version.

Implementation tips

• Start by translating labels and validation messages – this directly impacts the usability of the form.
• Test emails in each language to ensure correct formatting and dynamic field content.
• Use separate Formidable views for more complex layouts if you need to format your content differently depending on the language.
• Maintain a uniform field structure across language versions, making it easier to analyze data collected from all forms.

Formidable Polylang is ideal for projects where maintaining consistent communication across multiple languages while leveraging advanced form features is crucial. Integration allows for increased conversions and improved data quality by tailoring content to international user expectations.
