Hi there!

Please try this solution:
https://wpml.org/errata/changing-translation-preferences-for-custom-fields/

If it doesn´t work, please try to deactivate all the plugins, then make a small change in the default language and let me know if apperas on the translator editor.

Please do all tests on the staging site.

Thank you.

Hi Paola,

Nice to hear from you.
I've checked that solution, but it won't work because this is Gutenberg builder, and all the blocks are stored in the_content.

The issue is for "blocks_1_subtitle" with value "Some test subtitle text".
The field "blocks_0_title" with value "Test title text" is translatable.

Here is the page content example:

<pre>

<!-- wp:acf/text {"name":"acf/text","data":{"background_color":"white","_background_color":"field_5f96fccaa83d5","text_alignment":"left","_text_alignment":"field_5f96fceda83d6","blocks_0_add_page_title":"0","_blocks_0_add_page_title":"field_60114bc117d9a","blocks_0_width":"50","_blocks_0_width":"field_5f97d03928ec0","blocks_0_bottom_margin":"auto","_blocks_0_bottom_margin":"field_6019564347111","blocks_0_title":"Test title text","_blocks_0_title":"field_5f96f57eec0de","blocks_1_width":"50","_blocks_1_width":"field_5f97d09c28ec1","blocks_1_bottom_margin":"auto","_blocks_1_bottom_margin":"field_601955fc4710c","blocks_1_subtitle":"Some test subtitle text","_blocks_1_subtitle":"field_5f96f5a8ec0e0","blocks_2_width":"50","_blocks_2_width":"field_6040f9019468a","blocks_2_top_margin":"auto","_blocks_2_top_margin":"field_6040fc23e6195","blocks_2_bottom_margin":"auto","_blocks_2_bottom_margin":"field_601956b647115","blocks_2_button":{"title":"Test button text","url":"#","target":""},"_blocks_2_button":"field_5f9700c6009e9","blocks":["title","subtitle","button"],"_blocks":"field_5f96f122ec0dd"},"align":"full","mode":"auto"} /-->

Have you tried also deactivating all the plugins?

My today's test results:

1. The second entity appears in the translation, in case if the page has 2 blocks, for example.
So it's not global field ignore, only in a certain cases.

2. I've found an issue with the ACF fields. I don't know why, but the field is outputted on the PAGE edit screen despite the fact that field group is attached to the Menu Item. (check the screenshots image.png and image (1).png) I assume, this may cause slug conflict and issues with translation.

3. How to disable "acf/text/blocks/X" strings from translation, because this looks like fields slugs, so it should not be translated? (Screenshot 2024-05-07 at 16.48.06)
I thought we can setup it in WPML Settings -> Custom Fields Translation, but it isn't there.

While I was working on all this stuff, I also switched theme to the default one - it didn't helped.

But, when I've disabled the "Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual" as you suggested - the ACF group from #2 seems disappeared. So I've turned it on and updated to the latest version (today's one Version 2.1.2).

I did the same on prod - updated the plugin and deactivate/activate, but the subtitle didn't appeared on the existing page even after I've update it with a spaces.

I hope that helps. Any clues?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for all the info.

I will try to reproduce the issue on a clean site.

Could you please create the same block in the following test site:
hidden link

I cannot access to your site to see the field group.

Please let me know when it is done.

I've imported all the ACF fields, but it also requires registering them in theme code, so I've added a customized twentytwentythree theme with block registering code, but haven't noticed one extra line in functions.php, so now I can't access the admin section.

Could you please activate default theme or re-init the demo website please?
Or maybe you can provide FTP creds for that website.
Thanks.

I hace created a new test site:
hidden link

And I have installed file manager.

It is not necessary to import the blocks, just create one so we can reproduce the issue.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks, works for me.
Fields & template blocks are added.
Also, a test page I've created and here is a screenshot where you can see that only title get translated.

The problem that was missing the acf multilingual plugin, I have configured correctly and it is working on the sandbox, could you confirm that it is working on sandbox?

As the problem is only happening on your site, I will need access to your staging site.
I have enabled next reply as private, could you please add the credentials?

Also in case it is necessary do you give me permission to download a copy so second tier can investigate the issue in deep?
