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

Problem:
You are trying to translate a post on your website, but not all content, including images and text from ACF fields, is appearing in the translated version.
Solution:
First, ensure that your ACF Field Groups are set to "Same fields across languages" in the WPML settings. This configuration allows all fields to be automatically prepared for translation using the WPML Translation Editor. You can find a guide on how to translate ACF with WPML here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/
Additionally, check that the ACF Field Groups in WPML > Settings > Post Type translation are set to "Not translatable" and that there are no translated field groups in the backend. The ACF Field Groups should only exist in the site's default language.
After adjusting these settings, edit the original content, save the post or page, and then update the translation.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Also, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate a post on my website. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link. I expected to see all the images and text we translated from the original language.

Symptoms:
Not everything we translated shows up in the translated language. Just some text and photos are visible, but not everything. We have an ACF field where it shows all images, none of those came along in the translation.

Questions:
Why are some images and text not showing up in the translated language?
How can I ensure that all content, including ACF fields, is translated correctly?

Hello,

Did you make sure to set your ACF Field Groups to "Same fields across languages"?

These settings will configure all fields automatically for translating them with the WPML Translation Editor.

Guide on how to translate ACF with WPML:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/

Also, make sure that the ACF Field Groups inside WPML > Settings > Post Type translation are set to "Not translatable" and that there are no translated field groups in the backend.

The ACF Field Groups should only exist in the site's default language.

After adjusting the settings, edit the original content, save the post or page, and update the translation.

If this will not solve the issue, please let me know.

Best regards
Andreas
