Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	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: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/ Make sure that at WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation the "ACF Field Groups" are set to "Not translate. Best regards Andreas

Insignia	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

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	If you use the automatic translation for the posts and pages, then you need to set the field groups to "Same fields across languages". This will set up all fields of the group for translation with the WPML Translation Editor or automatic translation. Automatic translation is not possible, as the original content is set to be using the "WordPress-Editor" for translations. Please revise the setting inside the right sidebar of WordPress Editor on the original content.
