Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating records using the WPML editor, where clicking the 'Abschließen' button redirects back to the original record instead of the translated version. Additionally, there are problems with ACF fields not being translated correctly, and line breaks and paragraphs being stripped from the translated content.
Solution: 1. Ensure you are using the visual editor instead of the text editor to maintain formatting such as paragraphs and line breaks. 2. For ACF fields, set the translation preferences appropriately: - Set 'Field Groups (acf-field-group)' to 'Not translatable' under 'WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation'. - Use 'Copy' for special fields like 'Repeater' and 'Flexible'. - Set subfields of flexible content to 'Translatable'. - For fields not requiring translation, use 'Copy' to keep the same value across translations. 3. Update the translation preferences and make a minor modification to the original page to trigger an update. 4. Check the 'Presentation' tab in the ACF field settings to ensure proper rendering of new lines and automatic paragraph addition.
