Hi, unfortunately this is not working. I will try to describe once again what we need.
So we have 4 languages on the website. English, slovenian, croatian and serbian. We are using automatic translations for the articles.
When we, for example write the original article in english, and want to translate it to serbian, we want the following to happen:
Automatic translation from english to serbian
WPML needs to copy all the translations and blocks we have in the article (all the texts, photos and links)
We need to have the ability to independetly change the blocks on serbian translation
For example, if we have one articles in english that consists of:
Block A
Block B
Block C
Block D
Block E
We want it to be copied to serbian and translated. But on serbian we want to be able to remove Block D. Right now we dont have that possibility.
Also when we use flexibile fields with translation option "translate", it doesn’t copy anything on serbian for example.

Hello There,
I hope you're doing well. Sorry for the delay in responding due to the weekend.

Thank you for the clarification. I completely understand what you're trying to achieve. If the translation preference for the Flexible field and its subfield is set to Translate, the field values should appear translated in other languages and also, you should be able to remove Fields independently from the translation.

Since you're having issues doing so, a closer inspection will be required to understand the root cause of the issue.

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site along with the link to the page to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to have a testing site where the issue is replicated.

You will find the needed fields below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Maybe I'll need to replicate your site locally. For this, I’ll need to temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” or "All in One WP Migration" on your site. This will allow me to create a copy of your site and your content. Once the problem is resolved I will delete the local site. Let me know if this is ok with you.

IMPORTANT
-Please backup site files and database before providing us access.
-If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this:

Looking forward to your response.

Best Regards,
Prosenjit
