I currently have Spanish translations of products entered via the wordpress editor. I have an ACF repeater on each product that runs the Options you can see here: hidden link
It would take forever to enter the translations for each product option on every product. How do I auto translate only this section?
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Frontend - hidden link
Backend - hidden link
I am also not sure why it is showing as locked in that backend image. It says it is copying over from English but in settings it is set as translatable and not to copy from English. hidden link
Please go to ACF > Edit the field group > Edit the field > Set the field preference to Translate > Save changes.
Then go back to edit the product and translate the product again and see how it goes.
If it does not help, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info.
❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌
You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.
When I go to ACF > Edit field group "Product Options" > Repeater field > Field "Option Headline" and "Option Description", I see the field preference is set to "Copy". Please check this screenshot hidden link
Then I set the field preference to "Translate" and save changes. Now you can edit two fields in the English language as well. Please check this screenshot hidden link
Hello, as you can see in your second screenshot now the product options are showing in Spanish on the English products. They should show in English for the English products and Spanish on the Spanish version of the products.
The original language of that product on the staging site is Spanish and the translation language is English. hidden link
Before I change the preference, the field value is copied from Spanish to English. Now you can translate the field by adding value manually in the English language. Please check this screenshot hidden link
On the new staging site, I see the field preference of two fields "Option Headline" and "Option Description" is "Copy". Please check this screenshot hidden link
I switch it to "Translate" and now you can see the field value when editing the product FP60 in Spanish can be editable, please check this screenshot hidden link
Automatic translation on this staging site is not enabled to work but on your live site, after changing the field preference, you can make a small change to the product title/content to translate the field value.
Sorry I am confused by your last statement. How do I make them all automatically change to Spanish now? There are 359 products so they need to be done in bulk.
I am getting this error despite having the default translation engines. hidden link
When I did the small changed and then saved it just sites like this and doesn't translate the options on the spanish product. I tested it with "FP60" hidden link
Regarding the update process of the custom field, please keep a browser tab available until the process finished then you can send the content to translation. Making a small change here is to adjust the product content, not adjust the settings in a field group.
