hannesK-3	Tell us what you are trying to do? I want to translate the archive names of my ACF custom post types Is there any documentation that you are following? I found on your page many threads about translating slugs a fields, but not the archive name. Maybe I am blind. 😉 Is there a similar example that we can see? No, just the archive name of the custom post type shall be translated. What is the link to your site? hidden link hidden link Password: neu On this englisch page shall appear "Projects" in English. I only could translate the slug in the URL.

Most probably you can translate this text using our WPML -> String Translation module. If you can not find the desired string, kindly check this doc and try one of the scanning/registering methods described there: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/. I'm looking forward to your reply. Thank you. Kind regards, Mateus.

hannesK-3	Thank you very much. Unfortunately, as I discovered in this thread, what I want is apparently not possible with WPML and ACF. https://wpml.org/errata/advanced-custom-fields-6-1-custom-post-types-and-custom-taxonomies-labels-not-translatable-yet/ This is very annoying as I spent many hours setting it up waiting for it to work as you suggested. I just want to translate the ACF CPT names, labels, plural and singular, but most important the Archive name! Can you say when this will be possible? Or can you say if there is a workaround? Kind regards, Hannes

I looked in our internal system and I see that this task already has a high priority. I am adding your ticket to keep you informed of the progress. At this time, we don't have any news or workarounds to provide. We will provide you with updates once any new information or solutions become available. Thanks for your understanding.
