We are using the ACF plugin.
1. If we select a link in the ACF field, it is not auto-converting.
2. Whatever is filed in the ACF theme option is not auto-converted.

Hello There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

I understand what you're looking for and will try my best to address your concerns.

1) Value in the Link field is not translating Automatically - To ensure the link added in the ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) link field is translated into other languages, you should adjust the translation preference for this field to "Translate". Please follow the steps below and I hope it will help.

- Please go to the "ACF > Field Group" and locate the field group that contains the Link field.
- Change the Translation Option of the Field Group to "Expert" by following this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/#selecting-a-translation-option
- Once the Translation option is updated, open the Link field and change the translation preference of the field to 'Translate'. Please check this guide to understand the process: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/expert-translation-option/#setting-field-translation-preferences
- Once the Translation preference for the field is updated, open the page/post that contains the Link field.
- Make a small change in the page/post, update the link again, and save the changes.
- Try to update the translation. In the translation editor, please translate the link by following this guide: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/#how-do-i-translate-urls-with-the-advanced-translation-editor

I hope it will help.

2) Translating the ACF options page content: For translating the contents on the options page, it's necessary to set the translation preference of the fields on that page to "Translate". To get a clear idea of how to do this, you can follow the steps outlined in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/translating-the-acf-options-page-custom-fields-with-wpml/

I hope the information above helps. Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance in this matter. I will be happy to help.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
