We've ACF Field Groups for example for our Products. The Field group name should stay the same however only the field should be translateable for the second language.
However so far the field show up in the second language, but some ACF fields are locked from editing and in others, where some of the translated/custom content could be put in, it's not saving.
Under WPML Settings, Post Type Translation there's the field Field Groups (acf-field-group) With translateable is set to no. I've tried the other two settings out, however then WPML wants to translate the names of the whole field groups and field type names.
This is not exactly what we want, the Field Groupes and Types should stay the same only the content should be translateable.
Here is the new ticket. If you don't want to translate field labels, please add the following code to the file wp-config.php, right before the /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:
Thank you, I've added the line.
However the main problem still persists that on the second language, the content of the field groups are not saved, neither can I edit the URLs, they are copied over and behind a lock.
If it does not help, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to have a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info.
❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌
You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical.
- If you want to use the field group mode "Same fields across languages", you need to use WPML Translation Editor.
- If you want to use the field group mode "Different fields across languages", you need to use WordPress Editor.
