jeroenP-6	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate some labels in an ACF group. I followed the following procedure: Go to WPML -> String Translation, select the correct domain of the "acf-field-group-=[x]", and translate strings from EN to NL. I have updated WP to 6.7, WPML Multilingual CMS to 4.6.14, and WPML String Translation to 3.2.15. I followed https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/translating-acf-field-labels-with-wpml/ Symptoms: Translated ACF field labels (using String translation) are not reflected in the front-end. Questions: Why are the translated ACF field labels not showing on the front-end? Is there a step I missed in the translation process for ACF field labels?

Carlos Rojas Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Thanks! I have translated the strings in String Translation again. Please check if the issue has disappeared.

jeroenP-6	Hey Carlos, Thanks! I see most labels are translated, except for all "Morning" (Ochtend) and "Afternoon" (Middag) labels. What did you do differently to make the labels appear?

Carlos Rojas Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Great! I followed the steps described in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#enable-auto-register-strings

jeroenP-6	I don't understand. What did you exactly do to make the translations appear? I have tried to translate all labels once again, but the "Morning" (Ochtend) and "Afternoon" (Middag) labels don't come through. What am I doing wrong?

Carlos Rojas Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hi there, I can't say exactly what you might be doing wrong, but I can share this link: hidden link and attach a screenshot where you can how I find the strings.

jeroenP-6	Ah, it seems that these strings were located in other ACF groups, which is quite strange. But searching for the exact string did yield the results I was looking for, thanks!
