[Resolved] Translating Field Group names and Custom Field Labels

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to translate field group names and custom field names into other languages with WPML.

Solution: You can find these strings in String Translation under the domain "plugin Types".

Re : https://toolset.com/documentation/translating-sites-built-with-toolset/

The thing is that I created a CPT with many Field Groups taht contains many Custom Fileds. All the labeling is in French. Waht I want to do is be be able to translate the labels for everything because the person that will input the data is English. I just can seem to grasp where I have to go to togle the translation for those labels.

Example: my CPT will be an archive of old records (78-45-33 1/3 rpm) with audio files. I created different groups of fields to better separate the information. Example: Localisation, Créateur, Média, etc. I would like to be able to show Location, Creator and Media when an English person enters the data. Similar with my custom fileds, I want to be able to translate the label. Example : Producteur would become Producer and so on.

BTW, I have licence for both plugins WPML and Toolset. I read the tutorial but I just can't get it to hapen.

Pleaaaase, can you help me?
Tx ahead for any input. 🙂

Normally you can translate this text in String Translation. Go to WPML > String Translation and search for "Localisation" in the domain plugin Types. Then you can click "translations" to add translations in each language. You should be able to find all the Field Group names here, as well as the Field Labels.

You know what, it's the only place I didn't think to look.
Tx a mil for now. 🙂

BTW, in order to be able to translate my field group labels, originally I had filled all my labels in French. I had to go back fill them in English. Then I was able to translate them via the String Translation.
