We are trying to create custom field groups using ACF Multilingual along with WPML to have different field groups for different languages in the post types of Learndash Lessons and Topics.
The field group we are adding is a Taxonomy selector field. We have created separate taxonomies for different languages.
What we would like to have is, only display the specific field group for a language.
When we edit a post (lesson/topic), we see all the field groups irrespective of the language we have selected.
Can you please help us with this or provide any information on how to have separate field groups for languages?
Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.
This may be a compatibility issue. Please fill in the private details fields after a full site backup{mandatory}. I would like to access the admin area of your site for further checking. Refer to the following links for more details about our private information-sharing policies.
Thank you for the details and login information. Please check the attached images. The *Field Groups(acf-field-group)* Post Type is set as *Not translatable* now. So the field groups like the following will belong to all the languages. It is an expected result as per the current settings.

We don't have to translate the ACF Field Group. Please refer to the following article for more details and let us know your feedback.
I know the Field group is set as not translatable, but our issue is that we want to create these custom field groups with the options to display the different taxonomy based on the language selected for the specific posts.
For example,
1) A course/lesson in English has the custom Field group to display a set of custom taxonomies.
2) A course/lesson in German will display the same field group but show the taxonomy options from the German language.
Currently, the taxonomy options appear for the specific language but it also shows the field groups for other languages.
Can you please let me know how I can create this using the ACF multilingual setup?
Please let me know if the requirements are not clear and I will provide more details.
Thank you for the updates. Just to clarify, will it be different taxonomy terms or the German translation of the English taxonomy terms(the terms selected in the original language post/page)?
A course/lesson in German will display the same field group but show the taxonomy options from the German language.
On the same note, is there any method we can use to migrate or change the language of multiple posts from the default language to another language?
Currently, we have a custom post type created using ACF multilingual and all the posts within it are in one language. Is there a way we can change the current language of some of these posts?
Thank you.
