auroraP	Background of the issue: I am trying to get my ACF Repeater sub link field to show up in the ATE. Symptoms: The repeater link sub field is not appearing in the ATE, while all other fields for the repeater are visible. Questions: Why is the ACF Field not showing up in the ATE? How can I make the repeater link sub field appear in the ATE even though all of the Translation settings are correct?

Could this be the reason for the issue? Best regards, Andreas

auroraP	So, if I'm understanding your comment correctly. I have a Field Name in a different Field Group that has the same Field Name as this Field Group?

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Correct, each field name should only be used once, within the same group and between different ACF Field Groups. We mention this in our documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/ Could this be the reason for the issue?
