eliasC-6	Background of the issue: I am trying to change languages on my website using WPML, but the languages are not changing. You can see the issue on this page: hidden link Symptoms: The website only shows English and not the other selected languages, Spanish and Chinese Simplified. Questions: Why are the selected languages not appearing on the website? How can I ensure all selected languages are displayed?

I finished the setup now and was able to activate the Advanced Translation Editor. In your ACF Field Groups, please make sure to edit each field group and set the translation preference for the group inside the top section of each group. Do this before creating any translation. If you plan to translate the posts and pages with the WPML Translation Editor, then please set each group to "Same fields across languages". Let me know if you have any further questions. Best regards Andreas

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Yes, it seems you did not follow my instructions from my earlier comment: In your ACF Field Groups, please make sure to edit each field group and set the translation preference for the group inside the top section of each group. Do this before creating any translation. If you plan to translate the posts and pages with the WPML Translation Editor, then please set each group to "Same fields across languages". I have now adjusted the settings for each group. You will now need to make a small edit on one of the ACF fields on each original page that uses ACF fields to force the translation to run again. This time the fields should get translated. Please give this a test.
