Alejandro Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Italian (Italiano ) Timezone: Europe/Rome (GMT+01:00)	Hello! 1) Could you please tell us which mode are you using in Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual? are you using expert mode or another one? 2) You mention that repeater fields are not showing up on the translation editors but was this field recently added to a page or it existed before you translated it for the first time? 3) Can you let us know what fields are inside the repeaters and if you can check its configuration? 4) Are you using PHP/JSON to decide the field's configuration or using the GUI from WordPress' back-end? Let us know so we can understand how to continue.

alexanderS-13	Hello, I re-checked the settings and the repeater field is actually inside a flexible content field which was set to "copy once", and after setting it to "copy" the fields appear. Thank you for the support!

Prosenjit Barman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hello There, I hope you're doing well. Glad to hear that the issue is solved now. For your information, if the translation preference for any field is set to "Copy-once", you'll be able to translate the field contents only from WordPress Editor. The "Copy" rule will only allow to translate from the Translation editor. More information about the "Translation preference" is available here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/recommended-custom-fields-translation-preferences-for-acf-and-wpml/ Feel free to reach us if you ever need any assistance. We will be happy to assist you. Best Regards, Prosenjit
