andreS-25	I'm trying to make it so that choices in an ACF Select Field are directly translated on the front-end when switching languages : I want the value to stay the same, but the displayed label to change. I based my procedure on this documentation : https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/translating-acf-field-labels-and-labels-for-choices-with-wpml/#making-the-labels-for-choices-translatable I applied the documentation to a simple ACF select field : 1. Setting the translation preference to copy 2. Specifying both a value and a label for each choice 3. Setting the return format to Label 4. Inserting and modyfing the php snippet in my theme files 5. Translating the labels through WPML String Translation In the front-end, the translated label is not returned. In fact, I think the VALUE is displayed, although I set the return format to Label... I've included screenshots to help you understand my problem. Thank you for your help

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Hello, Thank you for the updates. Now the french Realestate posts are in the trash. So it happens with all the Realestate posts translations, am I correct? Please allow me to make a duplicator copy of your site using the Duplicator plugin(https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) for debugging the issue on my local server. So we can troubleshoot the issue without affecting your live site. -- Thanks! Bigul

andreS-25	The field is present only on Condo categorized posts for now, but this is something I would like to implement on all Realestate posts, yes. You can go ahead and duplicate, thank you

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Hello, The issue is existing after a few rounds of testing. It looks like a compatibility issue. The ACF Fields are listed through Elementor templates. So one request, please upgrade to the latest version of Elementor & Elementor pro after a full site backup and check if is there any difference in the result. I am also consulting with our team for an expert opinion. -- Thanks! Bigul

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Hello, Thank you for the feedback. This look like a compatibility issue between the AE - Custom Field Widget. We are trying to reproduce the issue in a fresh installation now as a part of our escalation process. Please click the following URL to access our test installation backend. Sandbox Site URL:- hidden link Do you have multiple site keys for Essential Addons for Elementor? If so, please register with it on the sandbox site. We can unregister it after resolving the issue. -- Thanks! Bigul

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Hello, Thank you for activating Essential Addons for Elementor. But still, the AE Custom Field widget is not showing on the Sandbox site. Please refer to the attached images. Does it require a premium version of AnyWhere Elementor? On the sandbox site, we have only a free version. Please check it and let us know your feedback. -- Thanks! Bigul
