Sebastian	Hello, I was trying to translate the page "Architecture" - add German language with the WPML Translate Editor. There is a ACF field attached, which I have set to "same fields". As soon as I hit the Translator Editor button I get a fatal error. PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: strlen(): Argument #1 ($str) must be of type string, array given in /home/sebastian/webapps/AndrewPhelps/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/classes/filters/strings-filter/class-wpml-register-string-filter.php:205 Stack trace:

Sebastian	Hello Bigul, thanks for your message. I am using ACF fields (including repeater / flexible content fields) on the site, but I don't use any ACF Blocks nor the table plugin mentioned in the other ticket.

Sebastian	I've found the issue. The page has Bricksbuilder and ACF fields on it. When I removed the bricks content and used a template instead, it works again.
