 * Hy there,
 * I used before contact form 7 on more sites that have few languages, earlier it
   was very easy, I add new form and i can choose what language I want to install
   the form and it installs the pre-form (with few fields) and for me very important
   with already translated messages on form.
 * Now, I installed your plugin, but still cannot find the option, where can I add
   or change the form to one language with all sentences in tab MESSAGES? I could
   not find it, is it possible?
 * I already had about 6 forms before I found your plugin, I installed and follow
   installation instructions, but do i need now to delete all this 6 and add 1 +
   5 translations to appropriate langauge? But still have problem, cannot find the
   possibility where the messages will be translated to some language, not that 
   I need to manually search translation for each language.
 * Thanks for your help,
    Kany

 * Sure, this functionality is still preserved when you create a new form in a new
   language. If the CF7 translation files have those fields translated, they will
   appear in your language.
 * However, this extension plugin does not translate an existing cf7 form into another
   language, so if you create the default contact form in GB locale, and then create
   a translation form in FR locale, the FR form will be empty, you will need to 
   create the fields.
 * One way to get around this limitation is to create your default form in all your
   installed locales, for example if you have the GB, FR, and ES locales, then you
   would first create the default form in each locale, subsequently you can then
   connect each locale form as a translation of the other forms within the form 
   edit page translation metabox.
 * In a future version I may include the ability to add default fields such as name,
   email, message, telephone, age in various languages, allowing faster creation
   of cf7 forms in various locales, but at this point I am too busy earning a living
   on other projects to contemplate this functionality 🙁
 * However, if you or someone else reading this thread has sufficient coding knowledge
   of the CF7 plugin, you can branch the existing code for this plugin on [GitHub](https://github.com/aurovrata/cf7-polylang).

 * Not sure can you follow me. In earlier version of CF7 when I was adding form 
   it was possibility to choose language, there was default in english or I could
   choose another language. When I choosed eg. ES language, clicked on create it
   adds new form with few preinstalled fields + all messages in this language.
 * Now, in the latest version of CF7 this option is not available, it just created
   english as standard. Why please??
 * Thanks,
    Kany

 * This option you are talking about was removed in CF7 v4.4 onward. It was called
   the Language Selector. You can read about it in the [release notes of v4.4](http://contactform7.com/2016/02/20/contact-form-7-44/#more-17369).
 * You can still get the same result by creating new forms n the locale that this
   plugin has installed depending on those you have selected in Polylang.

 * Dear AUrovrata,
 * thanks, could you explain in more details how to setup this: “You can still get
   the same result by creating new forms n the locale that this plugin has installed
   depending on those you have selected in Polylang.”? I cannot understand your 
   idea, how to create few forms on different languages, where I will get automatically
   the messages for appropriate language.
 * Thanksss

 * When you open the ‘Contacts’ menu in the Dashboard you have your table of contact
   forms and an ‘Add New’ button at the top of the page. Next to the button is a
   select dropdown with the languages that you have selected in your Polylang plugin.
   Select the language you want to create your new form in and hit the ‘Add New’
   button.
 * If you use the ‘Add New’ sub-menu link you will create a form in the default 
   language only.
