[Waiting for user confirmation] My buttons are not translatable

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

Have you tried setting the button fields to Translate? Since these buttons were created using ACF (Advanced Custom Fields), you need to make sure the corresponding fields are set to be translatable.

You can do this as follows:
1. Go to WPML → Settings → Custom Fields Translation.
2. Locate the ACF field that corresponds to your button (for example, button_text, button_link, etc.).
3. Set it to Translate.
4. Save the changes.
5. Then, re-edit your page or post and send it for translation again.

More details can be found here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/

After that, please check if the button texts appear correctly in the WPML Translation Editor.

If the issue persists, please include the screenshots.

Thank you for your feedback.

Yes, you’re absolutely right — the custom fields are locked because the “Same fields across languages” option is currently enabled.

You can make these specific custom field translatable by adding a configuration in WPML → Settings → Custom XML Configuration. So, you'll keep the option and enable translation for the button.

Here’s an example:

<wpml-config>
  <custom-fields>
    <custom-field action="translate">your_button</custom-field>
  </custom-fields>
</wpml-config>

This solution should work — I’ve tested it locally. However, if it doesn’t work with your specific setup, please switch to “Expert” mode and manually configure the field translation settings.

Hi,

I’m glad to hear that it’s working!

No additional custom fields will be added to the list. The configuration you define there only applies to the specified custom fields and will override the settings for those particular fields only.
