Advanced custom field is not translated

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

Problem:
The advanced custom field relationship is not translated, the English field has Arabic values, not the English ones. Relationship fields are set to Translate.

Solution:
- Go to ACF > Fields groups > Edit and set your relationships field to Copy, so the same value is copied to the translated post.

- Go to default language post and click Update so correct values are now synced and copied.

Dražen Duvnjak Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hello, I have checked your issue and I think I find the reason why is happening. You have set the field to Translate, this means as per our documenation. Translate – allows you to manually translate the field values. - https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-fields/ I have changed them to copy, so the same value is coped to translated post and since it is translation it shows translated connected post. Video: hidden link For already created posts, you just need to update them so WPML sync values, you can use "Quick edit" on default language and click Update, it should work in your case. I hope I was helpful. Don't hesitate to ask if you find any problem along the way, I'll gladly help you. Regards, Drazen
