Nicola Steyn	I am trying to hide the following fields from translation. I have managed to do this on other field groups but struggling to get the right combination. Field Labels Field Instructions Field Choices Currently the fields are set to "Same fields across languages" as this is what works on the other options, but everything is still pulling through to the advances translation editor

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Please add these constants to the wp-config.php file: define( 'ACFML_HIDE_FIELD_ANNOTATIONS', true ); define( 'ACFML_EXCLUDE_FIELD_GROUP_STRINGS_IN_POST_JOBS', true ); Sources: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/wpml-constants/#acfml_hide_field_annotations https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/translating-acf-field-labels-with-wpml/ You might not see a direct effect on current jobs that are in progress. You can cancel those jobs at WPML > Translation Management > Jobs. Also, take note that, after you translate a field group’s labels and Choices in the Advanced Translation Editor once, they won’t show up in the editor again. If you need to update the translations, you can easily do so from WPML → String Translation. Let us know if further assistance will be required. Best regards Andreas
