Background of the issue:
I'm trying to translate a custom field using WPML on my site hidden link. I want to make a group field translatable.

Symptoms:
The custom field is locked, and when I try to change the translation option, it doesn't store the option.

Questions:
Why is the custom field locked?
How can I make the group field translatable?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us.

While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly.

You should not make field groups translatable, as it will cause issue. Instead you can choose correct ACFML mode for your needs or use expert mode and recommended translation settings.

Please check next for more info:
