Tell us what you are trying to do?

I am using WPML + Toolset to collect front end CRED form submissions in Spanish that create woocommerce products to be displayed in English. I have already translated the form labels and other content on the page from English (default) to Spanish. Now I need a way to have the responses which will be submitted in Spanish, auto-translated to English so that they appear in the product-single template in English.

In the front end form, there is really only 2 questions/responses text fields that need to be translated, as most others are select/dropdown.

Ideally these would auto-translate upon form submission so that they are saved to the woocommerce product in English.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I can find nothing on Toolset.com or WPML about how to do this other than a few somewhat related support tickets.

I dont know enough php to code this myself.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
none I know of

What is the link to your site?

There is a major update imminent with WPML (4.5) which includes an auto-translate feature.

When posts are submitted, using this feature, they are automatically translated in the background to other languages.

A release-candidate is available for download from WPML, you could check that on a staging site to see if it suits your needs.

See here for a description: https://wpml.org/changelog/2021/07/wpml-4-5-beta-translate-everything-workflow/

I'm not aware of any other product to do the same, the alternative would be to use an API such as Google Translate, but that's a bespoke solution that you would need to code (or have a developer code for you).
