Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, Thank you for your feedback. We support replies to the forum ticket only, if you want to have a quicker reply, please make a chat session. Regarding this solution (page) hidden link I've moved the section "Related Resources" to the second position, update the page and update the translation with Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) then do not see any issue on the translation page hidden link Please check this screenshot hidden link Can you please share a screen record of the issue on your end while using ATE? If you send the content to a translation service, it works like ATE and the content will not be disappeared on the frontend as the main issue of this ticket. You can make a test with a page on your site and see how it goes. There is one note: if you use the field preference "Copy Once" => you have to use the WordPress editor and update the field value and order in the second language manually. Please read more in the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/recommended-custom-fields-translation-preferences-for-acf-and-wpml/ Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hi Jose, Thanks for your reply. Could you please tell us what exactly is wrong in the mentioned page? We have checked it and its translations, but they seem the same. Moreover, by chance, is this a development website where we can make tests without worrying in breaking it? If not, do we have your authorization to make a copy of the website and migrate it into another server? In order to perform more complex tests without compromising the original website. Please keep us posted about it. Thank you.

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hello Jose, Thanks for the clarifications. We've just checked that you haven't chosen the adequate expert option for the 'Page Builder' field group: hidden link After selecting the 'Same fields across languages' option, and then updating the French page, the content is appearing correctly: hidden link. It seems that none of your field groups has an expert option enabled. I strongly recommend that you read our doc related and check what option will be better for you: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/expert-translation-option/. It might be necessary to update the original language post and the translated post right away. Please review this info and let us know if the issue is solved now. Thank you.
