[Resolved] ACF blocks not being created for second language using automatic translation

Problem:

If you're using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) with WPML and notice that some ACF blocks are not being translated properly, even though the content appears translated in the advanced translation editor, the issue might be with specific block attributes. For instance, the attribute "content_row_0_layout" set to "twocolumns" might be incorrectly translated automatically, causing the block not to display correctly in the translated page.

Solution:

We recommend checking the translation of specific block attributes in your translation jobs. For example, if the attribute "content_row_0_layout" is set to "twocolumns", ensure that this setting is copied directly into the translation without alteration. After making these adjustments, the block should display correctly on the translated page. Additionally, the translation memory should prevent this issue in future translation jobs, as it will remember the correct settings.

Also, ensure that you have the latest versions of your themes and plugins installed.
