I am trying to: Which ever tab you save last, overwrites both translations of the global options page. Or it could be that whatever tab you opened last overwrites both translations. Is this down to the browser cookie solely deciding where the content is saved? URL of (my) website where problem appears: I expected to see: Instead, I got: Steps to duplicate the issue: Very simply to replicate, just install ACF on a site with multiple languages and create a global options page with various text fields. Now open this options page in the variety of languages available at the same time and start editing and hitting save. Refresh the other tabs and you'll notice content gets overwritten. The only way i've managed to get around this is by editing the global options page in one language at one time. However, such careful consideration can't be maintained for other users. |

I've run into this issue also, but it was kind of tricky to get it reproduced and I'm not sure how much can be done to fix this? In "normal use cases" the options pages seem to be updating the content just fine even tho I have two different languages open. Steps that I had to do to reproduce the content overwrite were: |

Thank you for contacting us. I would be very happy to help you but I didn't fully understand what is the issue. When you say "global options page" are you talking about the "The Options Page" add-on ( hidden link )? Or are you talking about Custom Fields > Custom Fields menu item? Thank you. |

Hi Bruno, With ACF Pro, the Options page addon is now rolled into the Pro plugin: hidden link This is pasted from the page above, and explains what the Options Page feature does: All data saved on an options page is global. This means it is not attached to any particular post or page, but is saved in the wp_options table. This allows the data to be displayed on any page throughout the website. pekkaW - glad i'm not the only one who's experienced this. |

Hi, Thank you. I saw what you're reporting. I'm not sure if this is a bug. This appears to be the default behavior, as long as you switch the language, cookies are also changed to the current language. By following these same steps, I can replicate this in the Settings > General page, for example. I will contact the 2nd tier support and soon I will contact you. Thank you. |

Hi, The 2nd tier support replied that this is normal behavior. As the WPML uses cookies on the back end, when you switch the language, the cookie is changed as well. When you update the second tab, the last chosen language becomes the "default language" on your backend until you change it again. That is, this is the expected behavior, even with only WPML installed. Please let me know if I can help with any other question you may have. Thank you. |
