Hi, my solution:
In the instructions texts I removed the colons of the qtranslate shorttags and add them dynamically with a string replace function in the load field filter followed by the apply_filters function to get the translation.

[en] English text [de] German text []

function qtrans_acf_load_field(  $field )
{   
    // exclude acf-field-group page
    if(get_post_type() != 'acf-field-group'){
     
        $instructions = str_replace('[', '[:', $field['instructions']);  
        $field['instructions']  =  apply_filters('the_title', $instructions);

    }
    return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field', 'qtrans_acf_load_field', 10,3);

I had some problems with the acf-qtranslate plugin, because it has not been updated for a long time.
Try this fork, it works for me: https://github.com/fburatti/acf-qtranslate

Hi James

Thank you. I found out that it was a issue with the acf-qtranslate plugin, not with ACF, because acf-qtranslate has not been updated over a year and some lines of code have changed in the ACF plugin.
But this fork works: https://github.com/fburatti/acf-qtranslate

Anyway the original question is more precisely: How to build a multilingual gallery field.
And I think the answer lies in analysing the acf-qtranslate plugin and reading about “Creating a new field type” https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/creating-a-new-field-type/

Thanks!

Hi James
Thank you.
As described in my first post I’m already using this plugin (acf-qtranslate) for adding an extra qtranslate textfield to attachements.
Unfortunately this is completly broken now with the newest version ACF PRO 5.3.7
When trying to edit the image details in a gallery field, the whole page loads again in the acf-gallery-side instead of the attachement detail editor….

….
Any hint is appreciated 🙂
