Using the ACF Multilingual Setup

ACF Multilingual features a setup wizard to help you choose a translation option for your custom field groups.

After you install the Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual (ACFML) add-on, you are prompted to edit each ACF field group to set a translation option for the fields inside it. To begin, you can click on the Set translation options button from your site’s dashboard. Or, you can head over to ACF → Field Groups.

You need to set the translation options for each field group. This requires you to Edit each field group. If you do not set a translation option for a field group, you will not be able to translate the fields belonging to it.
