philB-8	Background of the issue: I have updated all plugins on my site, and I am using the Multilingual Expert Mode for ACF fields. I want to ensure that ACF field labels are correctly translated and displayed in the backend for French-language users. I have already translated the ACF field labels in WPML’s String Translation section and set the option 'Set admin language as editing language' in the user profile. Symptoms: While the layout labels are translated correctly, the ACF field labels still display in German in the backend. Questions: How can I ensure that ACF field labels are displayed in French for backend users? Why are ACF field labels still displaying in German despite being translated in WPML’s String Translation section?

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. Let's start by updating our plugins to the latest versions: - WPML CMS 4.6.13 - ACFML 2.1.4.2 Once updated, could you please try to retranslate the labels in WPML > String Translation? - their name should look like "field-[ID]-label-[string]" Ref: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/translating-acf-field-labels-with-wpml/ If the issue persist, could you please provide me with a temporary admin access (wp-admin and FTP) – so I can further investigate. I will activate a private field for your next answer where you can provide that information safely (this field is only visible by you and the support team). Don't share your own admin account, create a new one that you will delete when we finish troubleshooting. IMPORTANT: Before we proceed, please backup your site and database.
