I have the ACF multilingual and string translation add-ons installed on the website and have run auto translations as well as all the string translations for ACF fields.
Yet none of the acf fields are being translated. When I am viewing the translation edit screen for an individual page on my website, I am not seeing the ACF fields being identified (attached.)
Field Groups in WPML settings is set to Not translatable.
I installeed the same set up on a different website - vamosauto.us - and did not run into this issue. All ACF fields were translated their. Not sure what the difference here is.

Hi there,
Thanks for your contact.
Before your ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues, please allow me to walk you through some initial debugging steps. This will help speed up the support process.
By looking at your debug info, it is possible to see that the WP Memory Limit is set to 40M, while the recommended is 256. Changing it can solve the problem. Please follow these steps:
- Find your wp-config.php file in the root directory of your WordPress installation
- Open the wp-config.php file with a text editor, then locate the line that includes: define('WP_DEBUG', false)
- Then add after it, the below line of code: define ('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
- Save the wp-config.php file, then refresh your website
- Go to your affected page, and do a minor modification to the original language content
- Try to translate that page again and see if it'll work fine this time
At last, please make sure to fully read and follow our doc related:
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 have 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 to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.
I make a small change to the page title > Update > Update the translation > Complete then the translation content displayed in the frontend as well. Please check this screenshot hidden link
So I need to edit each and every page for the translation to work? That doesn't seem right. This plugin should be working automatically. It has on other websites I've added it to.
Also - all of my ACF options are not working. How do I get those to translate?
New threads created by Long Nguyen and linked to this one are listed below:

Yes, it looks like the ACF field value is not translated via Advanced Translation Editor before. I'm not sure how the ACF field group to page content was setup before but you can create a new page with the same blocks in the content and translate it again to see how it works.
Or you can go to WPML > Translation Management > Send the pages to Automatic Translation and override the current translation, please check this screenshot hidden link
We can handle one issue per ticket only so I will split this ticket into a new one for your new issue with the ACF options page.
If you see the main issue of this ticket with the translation of ACF field value on pages resolved, please mark it as Resolved.
The page you linked as an example (hidden link) is only partially translated. Please view the page again and scroll down.
Is there a way to reset the entire staging website and delete all data of WPML - and then reinstall properly? I believe that is the best way to do this instead of manually going through all pages and ACF options.
I've just tested translating some texts into Spanish to see how it works, other texts I copied from the original, please check this screenshot hidden link
You can re-translate the page to display the translation in the frontend.
