dorM	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate ACF select field values using WPML but can't find a solution anywhere. Symptoms: In the field 'dough', I expected to see translated values from string translation, but instead, I got the original language values. Questions: How can I translate ACF select field values? Why are the original language values appearing instead of the translated ones?

Did you check this? https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/translating-acf-field-labels-with-wpml/ If so, can you tell me what did you try and after which step does it still fail? Regards, Bruno Kos

dorM	yes, i tried both ways - when using Same fields across languages, fields not shown on page translation. when using Different fields across languages, i translated using string translation, but translations values not shown on frontend.

Bruno Kos Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+01:00)	So, the dropdown translation works, but it doesn't function correctly within the modal? Could you clarify where the modal is being generated? It seems the modal isn't properly filtering these values. This could either be due to missing code specific to the modal (if it's only pulling ACF fields) or a compatibility issue with the plugin managing the modal.
