navigatedA	Background of the issue: I'm trying to figure out how to turn off block label translations in the ACF translator editor because it's going to charge me more to translate everything. I tried to follow the documentation provided, but nothing seems to be working. Symptoms: Unable to turn off block label translations in the ACF translator editor. Questions: How can I turn off block label translations in the ACF translator editor?

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today. Please add the following code to your wp-config.php file. define( 'ACFML_EXCLUDE_FIELD_GROUP_STRINGS_IN_POST_JOBS', true ); Kindly check our ACFML hooks reference. Please note that if you have pending translation jobs with these extra strings, you will need to cancel them and re-create new jobs. Best regards, Osama

navigatedA	Hello! I tried that and the blocks still shows up when I create a new translation job. I've already tried logging out and logging back in too.

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi, I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated. Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it. ❌ Please back up your database and website ❌ ✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical. ✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site. Best regards, Osama
