Problem:

When I translate a page from Dutch to English with flexible content blocks, all get copied correctly to the English version. I choose to translate the page independently, but when I delete blocks on the English page, they also get deleted from the Dutch page.

Solution:

When you edit the translated page in English, scroll down and look for the 'Synchronise translations' option. Uncheck the option 'Keep repeater and flexible sub-fields in the same order as the default language.' Then Update the changes on the translated page. This will solve the problem. The repeater items on the original Dutch page will be there and not get removed. You can read about the 'Synchronise translations' option in our ACFguide here.
