Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development and using WPML with ACF to manage custom fields. I have a text custom field 'price' with a number value in CZK and a text field 'currency'. Both fields are set as translatable. I need to set the 'price' field value in EUR for the English version.
Symptoms:
In ATE, I can't see the 'price' field without searching for it, although the 'currency' field is visible.
Questions:
How can I make the 'price' field visible in ATE without searching for it?
After adding the code, edit the page in the original language, make a small change (e.g., add a space or character), and update it. Then open the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) — the number should now appear and be translatable.
I performed additional tests and consulted further with my team. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to display IDs in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). This behavior is intentional, as IDs are deliberately hidden or excluded from the translation process.
Currently, the only option is to use a search to locate IDs in the ATE.
Apologies for the lack of clarity earlier — yes, I was referring to searching by a numerical value, specifically the fields that include the price.
So what's the correct procedure for setting up a price field using ACF that needs to be translated into a different currency?
You’ve already discovered the correct steps:
1. Open the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE)
2. Search for the field containing the 'price'
3. Translate the value as needed
OK, thank you for the clarification. This procedure is not really effective from the customer point of view. I'm going to use a text field with a price and currency together.
