Tell us what you are trying to do?
On the Home page of a blog of articles for breeders, 3 sections have been set up.
A Top Articles section, a Featured Articles section and a Latest Articles section.

To automatically manage the placement of posts in the Top Articles and Featured Articles sections, I use Toolset custom fields (checkbox type).
When I create a post in English (the default language) I choose whether it is a Top Article or a Featured Article by checking or not the corresponding checkbox.
I then choose to filter Toolset Views according to these custom fields.

Posts are translated into Portuguese with WPML.

I would like to know how I have to adjust the translation of the above custom fields so that the value of the field chosen for the post in the default language is well copied in the translation.
Should i choose "Don't translate" or "Copy from original to translation" or "Copy once" or "Translate".

What is the link to your site?

Thank you
