I can´t translate ACF repeater fields

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is trying to translate ACF repeater fields on a page and is not seeing the option to have the same fields across languages. The client attempted to use the copy option, but it did not work.
Solution:
We asked the client to ensure that the Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual add-on plugin is installed, as it is required for translating ACF fields with WPML. We instructed the client to:
1. Go to Plugins -> Add New -> Commercial tab.
2. Install the Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual plugin.
3. Activate the plugin.
We also provided a link to the documentation for further assistance: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/

If the solution provided here is not relevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly suggest checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please contact us on the WPML support forum.

Dann	Hi There are no fields available in second language to translate. Never had this issue before. I have a few different repeater fields for resturant menu, but always get the option to have same fields across languages in ACF but did never get that option.

(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible) Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it. NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin. Thank you, Bobby
