Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. I've configured both the options here as shown in the attached screenshot to 'copy once' and it's now translatable. Could you check?

Olivier	Hello, I have a last question around the same question as previously : I'd like to have a original language like a master, the definition is : I have an ACF flexible content, with blocks (you can test i on sandbox) I'd like create an article in original language with 2 blocks I duplicate page with 'duplication' function when I edit original language I switch translation version, and choose translation independently i see 2 blocks duplicated Now, i'd like to add a new block in original version, and i'd like the new block will be added in translated version automatically. Does WPML do that ? Thank you for your answer

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Looks like you're using manual translation. If that's the case, you'll have to manually create the new block on your translated page.

Olivier	Hello, Thank you for your reply. As you said "manual translation" i need to create manually. Which technique can be create ACF block in translation version ? WPML editor ? Thank you for your help

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's correct. The WPML Editor is also called the Advanced Translation Editor. Once you have enabled the "Advanced Translation Editor," you must utilize it to modify the content. Mixing the "Advanced Translation Editor" with the "manual translation" method for different sections is not feasible. The "Advanced Translation Editor" will consistently overwrite any manual changes you make. To address this, you can employ the "Advanced Translation Editor" to translate the content initially and then, if desired, switch to manual translation for any manual content alterations on the translated page. You can find more information on this process here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/
