Hi, I have a Types Beta question.

I want to use a repeatable Field Group on a page Post Type. The page should have the ability to be duplicated, not translated. The Repeatable Group instead should be translateable. Will this be possible?

Right now I have to switch to "use translation if available or fallback to default language mode." and I just need to know if this will be changed in the future 🙂

This post type uses the Translatable - only show translated items WPML translation mode. In order to use it in a relationship, switch to Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language mode.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I would like to rephrase your question here - do you actually looking for to have the page post type in the "Translatable - only show translated items" mode while using a Repeating Fields Group - is this correct?

Hi Minesh, yes absolutely right ?

I have 6 languages and sometimes the pages are duplicated. Also the repeatable fields need to be duplicated, too.

Actually - we can't really do anything at this point - using Repeating Fields Groups or relationships requires the "appear as translated" mode because we need to have a default language version of each post used in a relationship. It is required because we store only default lang version IDs in the database and we are not going to make any changes to it.

Oh that's too bad ? ? ?

For me that's a reason to not use the new feature ?

There are many languages that are only slightly different like de-DE and de-CH.
My customers will not translate all pages, just because of that.

You should defenitly think about that

I will pass your concern to our Devs but there is less chance that we will make any changes.

Thank you so much.

Just think about the users like me, who are using "Translatable - only show translated items" and upgrade to the new Types version, create a Repeatable Field Group and than are not able to change threir whole system. I think all ongo products should be full compatible for having a great user performance.
