Reply To: Localizing texts when adding fields via theme

I discovered the problem.

Rather than what you have in functions php to this.

add_action('init', 'load_my_acf_field_group');
function load_my_acf_field_group() {
  if (function_exists('register_field_group')) {
    // register your field group
  }
}

The problem is that loading of the text domain does not happen until after function.php is loaded so the translation does not exist when the field group is being created.
