I've been having issues with wpml editor, it gives a fight for every string i try to translate, claiming missing markers, when there's nothing to it.

"Missing markers
Your segment is missing required markers"

It's a madness of copy/paste (without format) over and over again, until it finally accepts it.

Observations:
- Sometimes it decides to paste the values with paragraphs...
- Sometimes it accepts the values only to remove them and leave the string empty again.

I have a screen record

Hi there,

If you create a new test page/post with the same ACF field post are you able to reproduce this behavior or is the issue persistent only on this specific page/post?

I've been noting this issue in different pages, not just products, and not just with ACF

Thank you for the feedback and screenshot!

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)

**Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken **

I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it.

NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.

Thank you,
Bobby
