Problem:
The client is preparing to use the Translate Everything Automatically feature in WPML for their website and has already configured the translation settings for the ACF fields. They are inquiring if there are additional steps needed to ensure complete translation.
Solution:

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate all pages on my site, hidden link, using the Translate Everything Automatically process in WPML. I have already set the translation function for the ACF fields.

Symptoms:
There is no specific issue or error message mentioned.

Questions:
Is there anything else we need to do to ensure everything is translated once we start the process?

Hi there.

If the settings for the ACF fields were configured correctly (as explained here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/), there's nothing else to do.

My recommendation is to create a full website backup before starting the automatic translation.
