Symptoms:
The ACF fields in the custom Post type are not translated.

Hello,

You need to install and activate our addon "Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual" and see each filed group in ACF to "Same fields across languages".

Guide:

Make sure that at WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation the "ACF Field Groups" are set to "Not translate.

Best regards
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

I've done that, is there a way now to tell WPML to translate that strings? I don't seem to find a way as the post content is translated because we enabled the auto translation before installing the plugin
