ok, will try to do that.
My another problem:
I have a problem that the large ACF group field called site modules is untranslatable in the German version even though I have the "Diffrent accros language" option set
An example is: hidden link
There is:
Button two
And there is a "padlock" there all the time even though theoretically it should be translatable without any problems because it is an ACF field set to translate or copy once.
Thank you for sharing the details. Unfortunately, I cannot provide feedback via e-mail. You can change the email that receives the updates in your wpml.org profile.
Please test the following solution. Change the Field Group translation setting to expert, and change all the fields to "translate". After that, make a small change in the original post that contains the fields. You can add a blank space to a text, for example. Finally, check the translations again and see if you're able to edit the fields.
Where should i change setting to expert?
I cant click all acf fields to translate because i have
2,654
acf fields and it breaks when i try to set them to translate and save.
I tried to write JS script which will change all those fields to translate
Please try to change it, you have access to my wp-admiin: hidden link
I apologize for not being more specific. You can only change the fields that are locked. I checked in a copy and was able to solve the issue. Since you have that many fields, please only change the fields you actually want to translate. Please make a full website backup and follow these steps:
1. Open the ACF Field Group "Site Modules"
2. Change its translation mode to Expert (check image 01);
3. Change the field "button two" or any button you want to translate to "Translate" (check image 02);
4. Make a small change in the original page that contains the button. You can add a blank space to a text, for example;
5. Finally, check the translation. The button should be editable (check image 03);
Cant i somehow bulk change it? Or should i do it step by step for my over 3000+ fields?
There's no way to do that in Bulk. Not all the fields need the settings changed, as I already stated. "Since you have that many fields, please only change the fields you actually want to translate", or the ones that show the lock item when you want to edit.

Regarding the order of the fields, this might be a general compatibility issue between WPML and Advanced Custom Fields. To verify that, I have created a testing environment with ACF Multilingual. You can access it here: hidden link
The idea is to check the behavior in isolation, so please don't import other content. Recreate the issue: a page with a relationship field, using ACF and let me know, so I can make the test. Thanks in advance.
