[ how to translate postcard element with WPML plugin ]
We have a website on English and German. But the posts are only on English we can not translate 1000 posts.
I have a postcard AVADA with structure like:
ACF text for Label of type choice
ACF date format ds M, Y
Featured Image
Tags
I have installed ACF add-ons for translation. Then I translated the field group with mode "Expert" and duplicated all of custom fields.
But the postcard returned only English Version.
We want to translate Label ACF and adjust the format of date custom field.
Have you experienced this situation?
I do not how to get the translate LABEL for postcard on German.
Attention pls:
We do not want to translate all posts.
We have only one postcard to display postlist on English and German.

I solved this problem. I have forgotten to return label of custom field in the config of custom field.
- Date Format in Custom Field;
Could we change date time format of custom field which based on format date ?
for example:
On English : the custom datum_von is 20th Oct. 2023
but on German : 20. Oktober 2023
WPML doesn't support translating/changing the ACF date format. It should be the same across languages. If you want to change the date format when outputting the field value, you can follow the code below:
$datum_von = get_field( 'datum_von' ); //get the date field value
$date_timestamp = strtotime( $datum_von ); //change to timestamp
$current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
if( $current_lang == 'de' ) {
echo wp_date( "j. F Y", $date_timestamp );
} else {
echo wp_date( "jS M. Y", $date_timestamp );
}
Remember to set the return format date to Ymd.
