Background of the issue:
I'm building a multilingual website (NL, DE, EN) using ACF and Bricks Builder. In the past, I've used WPML with a workflow where I create a translated version of the page via the gear-icon/flag and insert different content in the ACF Fields.

Symptoms:
When I try this now, my Bricks design is not loaded into the newly made page. I also get spammed with auto translation, but we translate the website ourselves.

Questions:
Could you help me set this up like before?
Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hello,

thanks for contacting us.

Let me try and help you out, please follow next steps:

1) To stop automatic translation, go to WPML > Translation Dashboard and click to pause Translate everything mode.

2) From WPML > Translation Dashboard, go to Jobs tab and cancel any ongoing jobs.

3) Go and edit your ACF field group and at the top select Different fields across language. This will auto set correct translation settings for your fields and you should be able to adjust it. You can also go with Expert mode, just make sure to adjust correct translation settings.

- https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/recommended-custom-fields-translation-preferences-for-acf-and-wpml/

4) To translate pages manually, edit your default language page, and click to switch to WordPress editor, then choose to make this switch permanent for pages or all website content.

- https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/

You can now duplicate page to 2nd language, and then adjust and translate your 2nd language content manually.

5) Make sure to also translate other relevant content, like templates, or menus etc.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Drazen
