ArtScience	Hi there, I'm using ACF Options pages with ACF fields that need to be translated. Since these fields store their data in the wp_options table I needed to use wpml-config.xml to make this content available for translation using WPML and WPML's Automatic Translation That's working fine. The only challenge I've found in this approach is that it's hard to find the strings because each string that I register using wpml-config.xml ends up in it's own domain. Is it possible to specify a domain for all strings to use? Thanks, Peter
