Problem: The client was facing a problem where changes made directly in the WordPress Editor to ACF fields marked as 'Don't translate' were being overwritten after updating the original content and re-translating it using WPML's Advanced Translation Editor (ATE).
Solution: We recommend sticking to one translation method to avoid this issue. If you're using the WPML Translation Editor, you should avoid manually editing translations in the WordPress Editor, as the WPML Translation Editor cannot recognize those changes and will overwrite them upon re-translation. For fields that you want to manage manually, you should use the ACF Field Group Option 'Different fields in different languages' and translate the content only with the WordPress Editor.
If this solution doesn't seem relevant to your situation, please open a new support ticket with us, and we'll be happy to assist you further.
