Dynamic Content for Elementor

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

Problem:
The client is having an issue related to ACF where he uses ACF Shortcodes to display ACF Fields in Elementor and the fields were not translated.

As the shortcodes also included raw text this raw text was showing on the translated content.

Solution:
We were not able to identify an issue on this ticket, apart from expected behavior, as the affected ACF Fields and their shortcodes were not yet translated.

If you're experiencing similar issues with Dynamic Visibility and ACF Fields not behaving as expected in translated content, here are the steps you can take:
- Ensure that ACF Fields are filled out, as empty fields can cause visibility issues.
- If changes do not reflect immediately, allow some time as it might take a while for the system to update.
- Check the page URL settings and ensure they are set to 'copy from the primary language' if issues persist.

If this solution doesn't seem relevant to your situation, please open a new support ticket with us, and we'll be happy to assist you further.

eun-kwangH	Hi Andrew, I would like to let you know that trouble 3 in my previous message is solved. I think the cause of the trouble 3 was the Page URL. I changed the page URL option from 'generating from title' to 'copy from the primary language'. It works. I am not gonna bug you any more, and you can close this ticket down. EK

It appeared to me that the issues on your site were most related to ACF. Some fields appeared empty on translated content, as the original ACF fields did not have a value. The fields were not empty, as they were showing characters that were placed around the ACF shortcodes. You would always face such issues again, once you use content, that has not all ACF Fields filled out. Usually, this should not happen for new content, as you marked most fields as "requiered" now.

eun-kwangH	Andrew, I understand that you were busy with something else. I would like to let you know that there may be a reason for stupid behavior of people. In my case, I wanted to accommodate different education and career for each team member, using an ACF group. The solution was to let them select which to show, and make it a required field if selected as "show". I am sure there would be better ways to achieve it, but I do not think this was the cause of the problem. Again, people are stupid and, therefore, need help of experts to identify the causes and available fixes of the mistakes they make. That's what I was looking for. I would like you to understand that it does not feel good to be "criticized" for asking for help. Anyways, the problem is solved, and thanks for your time.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, I am sorry to hear that you took my comments this way. I am not sure why you took my findings like a critic, and I would never want you to feel "stupid". At some point, I honestly did think that I did not understand the issue of this ticket, but I spent much time, even trying a copy of your site, investigating the content, running tests and the only thing I shared was my findings. If I offended you in some way, then please accept this apology. Best regards Andreas
