ACF translation

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to translate ACF fields from French to English and Spanish, specifically a city field named "Ville", but you are unable to see this field in the translation interface.
Solution:
We have confirmed that Divi 5 should be compatible with WPML. However, there are known issues related to migration from Divi 4 to Divi 5 that might be affecting the visibility of your ACF fields. You can check these issues here: Divi 5 migration issues.
We have opened a new ticket to address the issue with Divi 5 and its compatibility with global modules, which might be related to your problem. You can follow the progress here: Divi 5 & Global Counter Module issue.
We will conduct further tests and update you via the new ticket.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

mkt-portalp	Thanks for your answer, but I can't seem to do the same thing you did. When i save a post, in this case Pisa Mover, my custom fields don't appear in translation page...

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	The example content has been edited by a user for quite a long time now, and I am not able to access it. Please leave me a comment once I can access the original content.

mkt-portalp	Sorry, but i don't understand why you can't accee this page while you can access the others. What problem are you facing exactly ?

Andreas W. Supporter	Inside WordPress, you can not edit a page or post if another user is editing it. This was the case yesterday. I will be taking a look into this again shortly.

Andreas W. Supporter	Could you please take a backup of the site, then update all plugins and test again by retranslating the post and its template. If this does not solve the issue, I will set up a sandbox and try to replicate the issue from scratch.

mkt-portalp	Hello, I updated all the plugins and the problem persists. Sometimes I can translate the terms, sometimes no. It's really annoying. Furthermore, I saw again this screen on top of admin page. Do you know why ?

mkt-portalp	Something else seems to be strange : the fields "Pays de la réalisation" and "Ville de la réalisation" are duplicated in the translation editor as you can see on the screenshot.

mkt-portalp	The screenshot in attachment.

Andreas W. Supporter	Today, I completed the translation for the article Pisa Mover again, and now I see translations showing up inside the sidebar: hidden link
May 28, 2026 at 8:28 am #18065643
mkt-portalp	Yes, that's normal, that entry had already been translated. Try translating the ones for Miami, Roosevelt Island, Zurich, or Satu Oeiras instead. You can go ahead if you see a current translation work pop up.

Andreas W. Supporter	Updating the translation also solved the issue for the articles - Zurich airport - Satu Oeiras - Roosevelt Island Tramway The only post where it does not work is "Miami airport". I am not sure what is causing this issue. I edited the original content inside the Divi Editor, removed the dynamic custom field options, added them again, saved the page, and then updated the translation. The issue persists. Even deleting the English translation for this post and recreating it did not solve the issue. I also revised strings that were registered at WPML > String Translation, and I found many strings with French text that were assigned to "English" as the source language. I adjusted the source language for those strings. This also did not solve the issue. After all, I translated ACF Taxonomy Labels again, and it seems this finally solved the issue. Please revise.

mkt-portalp	Indeed, I see that you completed the translation. This is still a mystery for me... I have another issue about WPML. I'm using Divi 5 and i'm facing this error for a few days when i want to save my posts and pages. I did some research to figure out the cause of the problem, and I realized that it works again when I disable WPML Multilingual CMS. Can you please help me to understand why ?

Andreas W. Supporter	This error indicates that the server is not providing sufficient resources. I would suggest you try to adjust the WP MEMORY LIMIT inside the wp-config.php file. You will find this line: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); Change it to: define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '384M'); Now, test again. At the moment, I am sadly not able to log in to the site anymore: LOGIN BLOCKED: 2FA is required to be active on your account. Please contact the site administrator. If you need further assistance, please let me know.

mkt-portalp	I upgraded the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT to 384, that seems to solve my problem. But It feels like every time I solve one problem, another one pops up—it's so annoying! I'm trying to translate global counter module with desynchronized fields (Title and Number), but i can't do this... It seems that your plugin is not fully compatible with Divi, there is so many problems that I've told you about...
