I have been worried for so many days, if it had to be done manually then we would have informed earlier and then we had no need for WPML. We would have done it manually

I can offer to open a feature request for this, but this will not mean that a new feature will be included very soon.

Our developers have to review the issue and decide if it would be technically possible to make those fields automatically translatable inside the WPML Translation Editor.

If such a feature is made possible by our team, then it might take months until it will be included in a future version of WPML.

Would you like me to open the feature request anyway?

Hello,

My apologies, but after running further tests it appears that I provided you with a little bit of misinformation.

We are already covering the taxonomy fields on the WPML Translation Editor in the current version of Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual.

I ran another test on this matter, and if the Field Groups is set to "Same fields across languages" then the automatic custom field translation for ACF Taxonomy Fields is possible.

It works for default WordPress Posts and it also worked when registering a CPT and a Custom Taxonomy inside the functions.php file of the theme.

You only need to make sure that the CPT and the Custom Taxonomy are set to to translatable inside the WPML Settings.

In both cases, the fields will show up inside the Advanced Translation Editor when translating a post that uses the given category and it will be possible to translate them automatically.

You can see my test here:

I am not fully clear about how your CPT and its taxonomy are registered, as I can not find it inside the functions.php of your theme.

Could you please provide me with more background about it?

Best regards
Andreas

I've translated all the taxonomy data manually. However, I am encountering an issue where the FAQ category appears in the admin dashboard but isn't appearing on the front end when attempting to retrieve it. Why might this be happening?

Hello,

Andreas will be back tomorrow to take a closer look at the specific issue you mentioned with the FAQ. Meanwhile, can you please provide us with a concrete example of the said String?

Is it happening with all categories, or only with a specific one?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I would be glad to assist you on this matter today.

Could you please send me a link to the content where I can see this taxonomy translation issue on Frontend also let me know which string exactly is it that you are trying to translate and which category it belongs to.

Best regards
Andreas
