Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate certain fields using the WYSIWYG fields in ACF Flexible Content context. The issue can be seen here: hidden link.

Symptoms:
The translation fields are being duplicated, with every sentence becoming a separate field in the translation editor, cluttering the editor.

Questions:
Why are my translation fields being duplicated in the translation editor?
How can I ensure that the WYSIWYG field in ACF is not split into separate fields for each sentence?

Hi,

This ticket has been inactive for quite a while. I didn't get a reply from you. So, I've transformed this chat into a support ticket because you may still need our help. If you do, please reply to this ticket, and one of our supporters will continue helping you.

If you missed it, this is what I wrote in the chat:

About 1. The double translation for Meet Dilshani, for example.

I can see in your screenshot on the English side a LOREM IPSUM text. Please see the attached screenshot. Please check if your original content includes LOREM IPSUM text. If so, please remove it and translate the page again.

About 2. The configuration of my ACF fields

I can see it is a Flexible Content field. It depends on whether you want to have the Same fields across languages or Different fields across languages. Currently, I can see you set it to Copy. So that's good for the Same fields across languages. Please read more about it in our guides here.
