fabriceM-17	I set the tranlsation mode to "translate" for custom fields in the settings, according this instructions: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-fields/ It seems the translations are not made. When I go to review the page it appears blank. Translation mode is automatic. Somethign else I need to do?

Lauren WPML Supporter since 10/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/New_York (GMT-04:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with first debugging steps or if I can perhaps help with the issue quickly. Please try increasing the WP Memory Limit. Minimum requirements are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ You can add this to wp-config.php to increase WP memory: /** Memory Limit / define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); Add it above the line / That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ After you increase the memory, go back to the original post where you enter the custom field content in the original language and edit the post and save the change. Any small change will do. Then, update the translation. Do you see the translated content for this field on the backend of your site in the translation editor? If so, save the translation and then check to see if it appears on the frontend after these steps.

fabriceM-17	Hello Lauren, Thanks for your support. I did a semi automated translation (select a single page and then translated this) => this worked, unless the pictures are not appearing in the translated site (in the original site they are there). The pictures are also coming from the AFC Custom fields. Any thing special I need to do? The picutes can be all the same for all languages. Thanks Fabrice

fabriceM-17	Hello Laura, Thanks for your help. I tried the suggested workaround and also made hard reload in the Browser with CTRL+F5, no luck. Please advise. Thx, Br Fabrice

Laura WPML Supporter since 05/2018 Languages: English (English ) Italian (Italiano ) Timezone: Europe/Rome (GMT+02:00)	I'm noticing you didn't run the ACF setup, and no option has been chosen. Please refer to our ACF documentation here https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/ and once you set the option you prefer, try to do a small edit to the home page and resave the translation.

fabriceM-17	Hello Laura, I did already installed the Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual (ACFML) plugin. I installed additonally the WPML Media Translation add-on, although I understand this is only needed if you want to use different files and/or images in your default and secondary languages, which for me is not the case: The picutures can be the same for all languages. As menationed above the texts coming from the ACF Field are translated, but not the images. Is there something specific I need to do to run the ACF Setup you mentioned? Please advice

Laura WPML Supporter since 05/2018 Languages: English (English ) Italian (Italiano ) Timezone: Europe/Rome (GMT+02:00)	You need to go ACF > Field group and open the field group you're interested in, you'll see the 3 images in the screenshot from my previous post and you need to choose an option.
