gustavG-2	I'm experiencing some trouble with my site, particularly involving WPML and ACF. I've already translated some content on my ACF blocks, and everything seemed to be working fine. However, when I realized that I also needed to translate the labels on the blocks, I encountered some difficulties. Is it correct that when you change Field Groups (acf-field-group) to be translatable, I now need to go to every ACF block and copy the block? The truble is now that on the frontpage I can see the text that I already translated but when Im in backend I cant

It is possibly a compatibility issue with ACF we want to check here.

gustavG-2	That was interesting. When I exported the ACF group, it was in English. Now I've imported the group to the sandbox and changed the items that were in English using String Translation, then translated them into Swedish. It seems like everything is working fine here: hidden link. What could be wrong with my website?

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	I am not sure if it works: hidden link It doesn't seem to show the correct translation, according to hidden link Can you check and confirm if this is the same as on your website?

gustavG-2	As you can see on the screenshots I have add. User with language english I can see "Contact information" and then when I change that the user will have it in swedish I get "Kontaktinformation".

gustavG-2	I see that the page name hasn't been updated. It says 'Contact information' in both languages. But maybe this is not translated in the string translations? This hase nothing to do with the ACF group I added? Best regards!

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	It does seem translated in the backend: hidden link So it would always show only the language of the admin user? Can you change your admin user on your site and see what shows there?

gustavG-2	On my site staging.masterveil.se it looks like this (see image) its allways on swedish. Yes this labels are only for backend

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Can you provide me with a site Duplicator package? https://wpml.org/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/ Please exclude all the media files, etc, to keep the package minimal. I will escalate the whole case to our 2nd tier for further checks. Also, for my user please set it as site administrator because I cannot see most of the menu items in the backend.

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	I am not sure if this is the correct package, it is very small (6MB only) and the structure looks to be missing files. I got this during deployment: SCRIPT FILE TEST: C:/Apache24/htdocs/new1/wp/wp-login.php EXCEPTION test script file C:/Apache24/htdocs/new1/wp/wp-login.php doesn't exist FILE: C:\Apache24\htdocs\new1\app\wp_test_script_5bb9585-22055745.php[119] --- TRACE --- ----- Can I try creating it (Duplicator PRO package) on my own?

gustavG-2	Absoult! You can do it!

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	It creates the same small package for me, is this some sort of a different WordPress setup? No filters are used and the scan shows that the package should have just above 1GB. Can you try with https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/ instead?
