 * Hi,
 * I use the form block for two contact forms, one in German and one in English.
   
   When I submit a message through the english version I get:
 * > Hello,
   > you have just received a new form submission with the following data from “
   > xxx”:
   > Name: Max Muster
   > Email address: test@beispiel.deMessage: test
   > Your “xxx” WordPress
 * But the German form submission is empty:
 * > Hallo,
   > du hast soeben eine neue Formularabsendung von „xxx“ mit den folgenden Daten
   > erhalten:
   > Dein WordPress von „xxx“
 * What could be the reason for this?
 * Thanks

 * Frontend looks good to me so far.
 * Are you able to provide me with the result of an SQL query from within your database?
   Usually, you can execute it via a tool like phpMyAdmin provided by your hoster.
   The query would be:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       SELECT	option_valueFROM	wp_optionsWHERE	option_name = 'form_block_data_470a7665-dc64-4115-affc-84e8803dff08';
       ```
   
 * Aside of that, what plugin are you using for the multilingual functionality? 
   And did you copy the content/page from English to German or from anywhere else?

 * I use Polylang for multilingual functionality. I’m not sure, but I think I might
   have copied it from English to German.

 * Did you manually tried to clear the value of the `Name` value in the sidebar 
   of each field? Then, I can reproduce the issue, as an empty value is stored for
   this field and is then later not matched with the processed data.
 * As a quick fix, you can manually edit the field names, e.g. adding an “s” and
   remove it, then save the post again, and it should solve the issue.
 * I will release a fix so that empty name values there properly use the auto-generated
   ones from the label, as it should be.

 * I added the s and removed it afterwards. It actually works now.
 * The field values were exactly what the labels were called.
   Name – nameE-Mail-
   Adresse – e-mail-adresseNachricht – nachricht
 * I hope this helps you find the cause.
