The latest version of ACFML is now 2.0.5 and for the best experience, we strongly recommend running that version on your multilingual, ACF-powered sites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With this release of <a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/documentation\/related-projects\/translate-sites-built-with-acf\/\">ACF Multilingual (ACFML)<\/a>, we made it our mission to simplify and streamline the custom field translation workflow. This is thanks to you, our ACF Multilingual users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You let us know that the process of translating custom fields and field groups could be confusing \u2013 but it shouldn\u2019t have to be. So, we went in and revamped the ACF Multilingual translation options and interface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These improvements elevate the usability of ACF Multilingual to a whole new level.

Then, use automatic translation or WPML\u2019s Advanced Translation Editor to conveniently translate field labels and content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Different fields across languages<\/strong> &#8211; This mode is for field groups that need to have different field configurations across different languages. In this mode, you translate your post and field content in the native WordPress editor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For both of these options, ACF Multilingual automatically sets the translation preferences for the fields inside the field group for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image tb-image tb-image-dynamic tb-image-frame-none\" data-toolset-blocks-image=\"7d93cd944b47ee4f7f670febee95e74d\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2156\" height=\"1056\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13214389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1.png 2156w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1-1024x502.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1-150x73.png 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1-768x376.png 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1-1536x752.png 1536w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/acf-multilingual-setup-1-2048x1003.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2156px) 100vw, 2156px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><div class=\"tb-image-caption\"><em>Select a translation option with pre-set translation preferences for each field group<\/em><br><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to continue manually setting the translation preferences for each individual field, you can choose the <strong>Expert<\/strong> option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have an existing site with field groups?

You no longer need to go into your theme&#8217;s files and adjust the code to make the labels translation-ready. And, you can stop worrying about making the <strong>Field Group<\/strong> post type translatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you can easily translate field titles, field labels, and labels for Choices based on the translation option you select for your field group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In <strong>Same fields across languages<\/strong>, you just need to send a post using the field group for translation. All the labels will be available for translation in the Advanced Translation Editor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In <strong>Different fields across languages<\/strong>, you can translate the labels simply by going to&nbsp;<strong>WPML \u2192 String Translation<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-toolset-blocks-grid tb-grid\" data-toolset-blocks-grid=\"9cbc03461b87a40447ddc413b8a01dd9\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-toolset-blocks-grid-column tb-grid-column tb-grid-align-top\" data-toolset-blocks-grid-column=\"3034fbe886c11054e95b46b09d3e4112\">\n<p><strong>Translating field labels and labels for Choices in the Advanced Translation Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-toolset-blocks-grid-column tb-grid-column tb-grid-align-top\" data-toolset-blocks-grid-column=\"3034fbe886c11054e95b46b09d3e4112\">\n<p><strong>Translating field labels and labels for Choices in String Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-toolset-blocks-grid-column tb-grid-column tb-grid-align-top\" data-toolset-blocks-grid-column=\"3034fbe886c11054e95b46b09d3e4112\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image tb-image tb-image-dynamic tb-image-frame-none\" data-toolset-blocks-image=\"8c8d54c9f7f3fefba41960388909be24\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2458\" height=\"1356\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13214435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3.png 2458w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3-1024x565.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3-768x424.png 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3-1536x847.png 1536w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-in-advanced-translation-editor-3-2048x1130.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2458px) 100vw, 2458px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-toolset-blocks-grid-column tb-grid-column tb-grid-align-top\" data-toolset-blocks-grid-column=\"3034fbe886c11054e95b46b09d3e4112\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image tb-image tb-image-dynamic tb-image-frame-none\" data-toolset-blocks-image=\"7b34d7746c68c27b3a8bf463408ff510\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-string-translation-4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1866\" height=\"1260\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-string-translation-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13214457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-string-translation-4.png 1866w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-string-translation-4-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-string-translation-4-1024x691.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-string-translation-4-150x101.png 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-string-translation-4-768x519.png 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wpml-acf-multilingual-translate-field-labels-string-translation-4-1536x1037.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1866px) 100vw, 1866px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">User Interface (UI) Upgrades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that your sites have a lot of custom fields and field groups assigned to different post types.
