ACF and Polylang

Hi there guys,

I’m trying to display ACF in front-end using:
1.Elementor PRO
2.ACF (free verstion)
3. CPT Plugin
4. Polylang Free (2 Languages)

I applied this bit of code found in previous thread:

function polylang_translate()
{
    pll_register_string('back', 'back','General');
    pll_register_string('my_customfield', 'My Custom Field','General');
   
}
add_action( 'init', 'polylang_translate' );

..which displays the fields to be translated in Polylang’s back-end no problem. However, I don’t see the translated fields in front-end, neither within ELementor’s Dynamic field tags, (which is what I’m using to display the custom fields), or anywhere.
I also added code displayed in this thread by Mark Howells-Mead in my functions.php, but I don’t see anything different happening.

Can I make this work and have the fields translated and displayed somehow in the front-end?
I don’t have much knowledge in coming up with my own code, nor have I used current set up with above plugin combo to achieve this.
Do I have to guy ACF Pro to achieve this?
Any advice / help will be much appreciated 🙂

Thank you

Did you figure this out in the end? I have the same setup and am looking for the way to do this.

Same here. When you duplicate custom post and change languages, all group field disappear.

I try your function but no. Have you find why and solve the problem¿?
