Hello,

I have created all the pages we need and added the content in English, the default site language.

We are attempting to use the auto translate feature to set up the 'Chinese', 'German', 'Korean', 'Portugese' versions.

Generally, the auto translate seems to work for most of our blocks and fields. However, we are using blocks which contain 'flexible content'. Within this acf field are layouts called 'text'. Some of the sub-fields in this area are marked as 'translate', as opposed to 'copy'. These fields seem to be causing the problem. The entire 'text' layout is dropped, so that only 'image' layouts are showing in the webpage DOM.

We would like to avoid inserting these translation manually, is there a quick fix we can use to ensure that automatic translation are added to the flexible content sub fields?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Can you record a quick video showing us the ACF field group setup? and is there a reason why the sub-fields are set to translate instead of copy (And which type of fields they are?)

that can help us understand the problem a bit better.

Hello,

Sure, take your time.

When you’re ready, please let me know, or if possible, share a short video showing your field group settings, what is not working as expected, and also include WPML debug information.
