I have successfully managed to get WPML to translate the custom fields in my custom post types, but there are some extra things appearing, so I have obviously selected something incorrectly in the settings. Can you help by suggesting where I can de-select these options?
I've added a screenshot.

I should have pointed out that I am using:
Astra Theme,
Beaver Builder,
Beaver Themer and
Pods
The screen above is a custom post type that has been made with Pods.

Hi there,

Thanks for your contact.

Before your ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues, please allow me to walk you through some initial debugging steps. This will help speed up the support process.

You can search for these custom fields directly in the WPML -> Settings -> Custom Fields Translation section. Then, just set the correct translation preference for them (don't translate or copy). You might need to click on the 'show system fields' link if you're not able to find the fields at the first glance.

After setting the translation preference for these fields to 'don't translate', make a small change in the original language content and check the translation again.

Please make sure to fully read and follow our doc related: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-fields/

Kind regards,
Mateus.
