* Hello,
* We have been using Contact form 7 extension for a while, and appreciate for developing
such an efficient extension.
* However, we are facing one issue. The issue is to translate validation error
messages into various languages.
* Please help us to understand how to translate validation error messages.
* Thanks.

* Hi Takayuki Miyoshi,
* Thank you for your reply.
* The link you have shared is related to styling of error messages, however I was
looking for translating error messages into regional languages.
* For eg. if my WordPress installation is in French language then error messages&
form label rendered should be in French language other than default English language.
* Hope I am much clear with my query now.
* Thanks.

* I had the same issue and solved it using Polylang plugin (which is in my opinion
the best multi-language plugin for WordPress). You can create separate form for
each language, translate everything and then implement it on your pages using
2 different shortcodes. It’s super easy and clean solution. I hope this helps.

* I am using qTranslate-X and this is how i set up my messages:
* `[:en]Das Feld ist erforderlich.[:en]The field is required.[:sk]Toto políčko
je povinné.[:]`

* Hello,
* i have been using Contact form 7.
* But, im also facing an issue with translating validation error messages into
german.
* Im using Loco Translate for translating:
Loco translating info: 100% translated,
306 strings
* On the contact form if i dont insert all text and want to send the form it will
give following red texts:
* “The field is required” and “ONE OR MORE FIELDS HAVE AN ERROR. PLEASE CHECK AND
TRY AGAIN”
* In the source of Loco translate it looks like this:
* #: includes/contact-form-template.php:169
msgid “The field is required.” msgstr“
Das Feld ist erforderlich.”
* #: includes/contact-form-template.php:148
msgid “One or more fields have an
error. Please check and try again.” msgstr “Ein oder mehrere Felder sind fehlerhaft.
Bitte überprüfe sie und versuche es noch einmal.”
* For the Plugin it looks like it is already translated but on contact page it
does not.
* In the Plugin Loco Tanslate the strings are already translated to german but
on the website it is still in english.
* Any idea why?
