Automatic translation skipping 5 fields.

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

Problem:
The client has a registration section on their website with 70 select buttons. When trying to translate the registration, 65 fields are translated correctly, but 5 fields do not appear on the English version of the website.
Solution:
We checked the "Registration" field group and found that the fields were set to "Don't Translate". We recommend setting the translation mode to "Same Fields Across Languages" as on the staging site, or changing the field setting to "Copy" instead of "Don't Translate". Here are some guides to assist you:

After making these changes, please update the registration post in the default language and its translations.

Please note that the solution provided might be outdated or not applicable to your case. If the issue persists, 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.

sanjaP	Hi, The client doesn't want to share access to live site. If the translation after the video doesn't work, I will try to talk to him one more time. Thank you so much! I'm waiting for the video

sanjaP	I've done everything the same as in video, but when I translate my registration no skills show up in the English language. I will try to give you the access but until then do you know how could I possibly fix this?

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Thanks for the access details. I checked the "Registration" field group, and the field is set to "Don't Translate". (Kindly check the attached screenshot) I recommend using the "Same Fields Across Languages" translation mode in this field group, the same as the staging site. Or set the field to "Copy" instead of "Don't Translate". Kindly check the following guides: 1- https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/ 2- https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/expert-translation-option/ 3- https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/recommended-custom-fields-translation-preferences-for-acf-and-wpml/ After changing the translation mode or translation preference for the field, please update the registration post in the default language and its translation. Best regards, Osama
