[Resolved] Translate strings of ACF

Hello,

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear on my last explanation, I'll give a more detailed step-by-step guide to achieve what you want. WPML offers an automatic translation option, which will also work for the ACF you created.

• On your website, you chose the "Elija qué quiere traducir" option. Go to WPML > Configuracion > Modo de traducción click on "Cambiar modo" and select "Traducir todo automaticamente"

• On the next window, you will have the option to translate content you created previously or just translate content you create in the future. Choose the option that suits you best.

• On the final step, you can control how the automatically translated content will be published.

This solution should work as you expect, as you would rather not translate the content manually. Please note that you can select different translation engines (such as Google Translate, DeepL and ChatGPT) and they have different costs. There's a detailed explanation on how they work, in this documentation:

As for your questions regarding ATE (Advanced Translation Editor): ATE is a tool that enables you to translate content from scratch or to edit existing translations. Once you click on the pencil, on the languages' column of your posts, pages and products, you will be able to edit the existing translations directly, without having to set anything up on the translated content itself. Refer to this documentation, for more information:

You also have the option to use the WordPress editor, if you want to have different configurations or layouts on translated content. It is advised to either use the ATE or the WordPress editor, not both for the same content. That's why you got the message you sent on the screenshot. When content is being edited via ATE and you try to edit directly in the WordPress editor, WPML warns you that the translation is in process. If you want to have everything translated automatically, I recommend you don't use this option. In case you would like to know more about it, here's a link that explains how it works in detail:

We try to make WPML as intuitive and flexible as possible. Despite this, there are still some options that need attention and learning from our users, since it has to work on different scenarios for each user. Please read the documentation thoroughly so you set it up in a way that works best for you. Let us know if you need any assistance setting up WPML on your website, I will be glad to further help with any doubts or issue you may have.

I understand that you are frustrated because of the delayed responses. I already requested a Spanish-speaking supporter in your time zone. Since today is a holiday in Spain, you might have to wait until Monday until a supporter is assigned to your ticket, in the meantime, I will keep the ticket assigned to myself and do my best to help you out.

Thank you for understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.
