Problem: You have created a custom post type called 'Produkte' using the ACF Post Types UI, which is public and set to show in REST API with the slug 'produkte'. In your main language, German, the post type appears and is detected by WPML for translation. However, when switching the admin language to English, the custom post type does not appear, and you receive an 'Invalid Post Type' error when trying to enable translation for it in WPML settings. Solution: To make your custom post type available for translation in all admin languages, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the WPML >> Settings > Post Types Translation section. 2. Set the 'Post Types (acf-post-type)' to Not Translatable. 3. Press the Save button. This adjustment should resolve the issue of the custom post type not appearing in different admin languages.

Problem: If you're struggling with WPML and cannot make your ACF fields appear for translation, or if the translation mode options are not showing on the ACF fields, this might be due to a missing add-on. Solution: We recommend downloading the ACFML plugin, which is essential for integrating Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) with WPML. You can download it from https://wpml.org/downloads/. Additionally, ensure that your Field Groups are set to "not translatable" as per our documentation on https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/.
