Problem: The client is developing a multilingual site using WPML and ACF (flexible content) and needs to handle the 'wpml_cf_preferences' differently based on the editor mode (WP Editor or WPML translation editor) for specific posts. They encountered issues with repeater fields not syncing correctly between translations depending on the translation mode used. Solution: We do not have a direct hook to dynamically change 'wpml_cf_preferences' based on the editor mode at the moment. However, you can check the editor mode used for translation by querying the 'editor' column in the 'icl_translate_job' database table or the '_last_translation_edit_mode' meta. Based on this information, you can programmatically set the 'wpml_cf_preferences'. For detailed guidance on setting translation preferences for ACF fields, refer to our documentation here: Setting the Translation Preferences for ACF Fields Created Using PHP Code.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
Problem: The client is using WPML's auto-translation feature with a site built using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and flexible content. They have encountered an issue where internal links within an ACF WYSIWYG field inside a flexible content field are not being translated to the target language (French) even after using the 'Translate Link Targets' feature in WPML.
Solution: We recommend ensuring that the custom fields are set with the correct translation settings under WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation.
For the links that are not automatically translated, you will need to manually search for and translate them within the page or post itself, as they do not appear by default in the translation editor. For a more detailed explanation on how to translate links manually, please refer to our documentation:
