French Language Form on 'English' Website

    I have a site run by multi-lingual English speaking clients that targets the French marketplace, the pages are in French but the admin is English and the site localised to English.

    What they want to be able to do is add a fairly sophisticated form in French, with French error messages and submit buttons etc, but one that wil be set up by us in the English back-end.

    Can I create an individual form that is 'French' via the 'English' backend system?

    It's crucial to our purchase decision that we can do this as we have another 3 sites to do in the same fashion.

    Thanks,

    Red Rose.

    Yes, you can do this. You have control over the field labels and custom error messages. However, some messages will need to be changed via some PHP to set their labels because they are messages that are designed to be translated via PO translation files.

    Another option is to translate the form using WPML, a translation plugin for running multi-lingual sites. They have a Gravity Forms Add-On that lets you create one form and translate it into multiple languages and provides all of the UI to translate every string. You can find information on it here:
