Pieter	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate a page where the ACF field is set to 'copy' value from the original language. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link Symptoms: I expected to see my original language value, but instead, I got a translated value in ATE editor. Questions: Why is the ACF field not copying the original language value as expected? How can I ensure the ACF field copies the original value instead of translating it?

Carlos Rojas Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Thank you for contacting us In this case, the behavior is expected because the Translation Memory is picking the string 'video' and using it as translation. You can read more about it in this link: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/how-wpml-keeps-track-of-your-translations/ You will have to manually undo the translation or add the string to the Glossary as described in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/how-to-create-and-manage-glossary-entries/ Regards, Carlos
