    Hi,

    I’ve got this plugin installed and the only thing I seem to be able to translate is the field group title. I can’t translate any of the individual custom field titles or select fields etc.
    The text/test area fields I can translate when editing my post.

    UPDATE – ADDITIONAL ISSUE: It seems that my normal text fields etc. also only translate once. If I edit my post and update a second time, all the the custom translated fields default back to my main language.

    Hi,

    You have to go to settings -> ACF qTranslate and check the boxes and save.

    For me it worked, I hope you too.

    UPDATE: So the text fields etc. translate, but after saving, the field content defaults to the primary language content. The translated content will show on the site when viewing but the minute that post is saved again it overwrites all the translated content with the original.

    UPDATE: The issue above appears to be an issue when using the WYSIWYG field. When using the textarea etc. the translation sticks and doesn’t get overwritten. I assume this is some tinyMCE issue…
    I am using TinyMCE Advanced, but even when deactivating the plugin it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

    I’ve also managed to translate the titles through the templates using the esc_html_e syntax.
