Hello,

Thank you for reaching out!

Do I understand correctly that those fields were created with ACF PRO?

Best regards
Andreas

Yes, all the fields are created by ACF Pro.

If you are translating the content that is using those fields with the WordPress Editor, then please set the ACF Field Groups that are used on those contents to "Different fields across languages".

You should see this translation preference option inside the top section of your field groups when editing them in ACF.

Also, please make sure that at WPML > Settings > Post Type translation the "ACF Field Groups" are set to "Not translatable".

Now, please edit the original content, make a change to at least one of the fields, save the page and translate it.

Did this solve the issue?

The Group "Flexible – Global Content Blocks" is set to "Export" mode. I suggest setting it to "Different fields across languages".

Or set the Flexible content field to "Copy once" which might solve the issue, but it also depends on on the setting of each field in the group. I have adjusted this first field inside the group now.

Further, the ACF Field Groups are still set as translatable inside the WPML Settings and I have set them to "Not translatable" now.

Please test again now. If this will still not solve the issue, then please use the group setting "Different fields across languages". This will set the setting for each field automatically.
