Repeatable field groups let you add sets of custom fields multiple times within the same post or page. For example, you might create a repeatable field group for an image gallery on your pages. Each gallery item could include an image, caption, link (URL), and alt text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what a repeatable field group might look like when editing a page:<\/p>\n\n\n

You can add as many gallery items as you like, and each one will contain the same set of fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make them translatable with WPML, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Make the associated post type translatable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Repeatable field groups are assigned to a specific post type\u2014such as Posts<\/strong> and Pages<\/strong>, which are translatable by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your repeatable field group is assigned to a custom post type, go to WPML \u2192 Settings<\/strong>, scroll to the Post Types Translation<\/strong> section, and set the post type to one of the Translatable<\/strong> options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Set the translation options for the group\u2019s custom fields<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each field in a repeatable group is a regular custom field. You can set translation preferences in either of these places:

For a full overview of the translation preferences, see WPML\u2019s guide on translating custom fields<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translating the custom fields<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To translate custom fields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to WPML \u2192 Translation Management<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select the page or post containing your custom fields.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Choose a translation method and translate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re translating by yourself, go to WPML \u2192 Translations<\/strong>, find the item, and click Translate<\/strong>. This opens the Advanced Translation Editor<\/strong>, where you can translate the entire post, including custom fields.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Translating field group names, labels, and static field options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to translate the name of your field group, the labels of custom fields, or fields that include predefined options\u2014such as checkbox, checkboxes, select, or radio fields\u2014you\u2019ll need to send the field group for translation separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To do this, go to WPML \u2192 Translation Management<\/strong>, scroll down to the Toolset Types Post Field Group<\/strong> section, and send the relevant field group for translation. <\/p>\n\n\n
