Problem: The client is trying to translate ACF fields that were previously set to "Same fields across languages" for an ingredients list on a product page. They noticed that the fields disappeared when they wanted to make changes.
Solution: 1. We recommend using "Same fields across languages" for ACF Groups and translating the products with the WPML Translation Editor. 2. Ensure that at WPML > Settings > Post Type translation, the ACF Field Groups are set to "Not translatable". If they are not, adjust the setting accordingly. 3. If the client prefers to translate the products using the WordPress Editor, they should set the ACF Field Group to "Different fields across languages". However, this is not recommended as custom attributes may not be translatable this way. 4. If the fields are not visible in the WordPress Editor for translated products, confirm that the correct settings are applied. 5. For further guidance, refer to the documentation on how to translate sites built with ACF. 6. Provide WPML troubleshooting information as detailed here: WPML Debug Information.
