jacksonM-4	Our website is translated to 15 langs and we have an Options page for the header menu that has been translated as well. But then we made some changes for the menu (few more fields was added to). All langs are good, but Arabic has an issue. I'm not sure what exactly happened, but in result any changes we make there (like adding icons, links etc) are not being saved. I tried to clear WPML cache but it didn't help So, I want to try completely delete ar version of Megamenu Options page but didn't find how to do that. Please help 🙂

Also, make sure that ACF Fields Groups in WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation are set to "Not translatable". Please also read this documentation and make sure to follow the suggested steps in order to translate the ACF Options Page: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/translating-the-acf-options-page-custom-fields-with-wpml/ If you would like me to have a look at the site as an admin user, please let me know. Best regards Andreas

jacksonM-4	Hello, Andreas. Thank you for your reply. But I want to REMOVE Arabic version of the Options page at all and try to translate it again. How I can do that? I can easily delete any translations from the posts/pages but I can't do that from the Options ACF page.

You could simply switch on the options page to Arabic and edit your fields. This should at the same time overwrite your old translations. The changes should appear after saving the page. If this is not the case, please let me know. Best regards Andreas

jacksonM-4	Yes, I did 🙂 I've been working with WPML for 3 years now (I'm a WP developer) and I understand how to translate. The issue is when I try to do ANY changes there (like adding icons, links etc), they are not being saved. I can provide access to wp-admin for our staging to have a look at it. Would it be OK for you?

jacksonM-4	Hello, The issues is resolved 🙂 I've done the following: Set the flexible field to "Copy Once", updated the group, then set it to "Copy", and updated the group again. After that, I updated the Option page in English, and switched to the Arabic version and the fields were copied correctly from EN version. Yuuhuuu!!! I've found the solution here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/translated-acf-flexible-content-fields-not-applied-to-translated-page/ Thank for your time, Andreas!
