Hi!

Has anyone had any success with WordPress visual editor for ACF fields translation using WPML? I get a one-line default input field, but I need a visual editor.

So, the problem was that when a field is set with a visual editor, in WPML translation it was a default one-line field. If anyone has the same problem, you actually need to manually specify that the field should be “visual” in wpml-config.xml or in /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpml-translation-management%2Fmenu%2Fsettings&sm=custom-xml-config

Here’s my example for one field:

<wpml-config>
    <custom-fields>
        <custom-field action="translate" style="visual">YOURFIELDNAME</custom-field>
    </custom-fields>
</wpml-config>
