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

Problem:
The client reported that WPML was loading many fields named 'field-obsah' containing text from previous versions of posts, which were not present in the current version of the post in the original language. These fields were unnecessarily consuming translation credits during automatic translation.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps:
1. Navigate to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation.
2. Use the search input to locate the 'field-obsah' field.
3. Set it to 'Don't Translate'.
4. Edit the original post and make a small change.
5. Update the translation.
For more detailed instructions, please refer to our guide on translating custom fields.

If the solution provided here is not relevant to your case, either because it's outdated or it doesn't apply to your situation, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket in the WPML support forum.

Hello,
For some reason, wpml on this site is loading many fields (called field-obsah), which contain text from previous versions of posts (the text is not present in the current version of the post in the original language).

There's no point in translating these fields and they only eat up credits, when using automatic translation. Is there a way no to load these fields?

I can provide debug info tomorrow.

Thank you.
