What’s new in ACF Multilingual 5.1.0

Version 5.1.0 · Oct 1, 2026 Latest

What it does

Advanced Custom Fields is a common way to add structured content to WordPress, and WPML is a widely used tool for running a site in several languages. The trouble starts when the two meet: custom field values often sit outside the normal translation flow, leaving parts of a page in the original language. This plugin bridges that gap by making ACF field content translatable within WPML, including complex and repeater fields, so translated pages show the full detail of your custom data.

Translators work on custom fields inside the WPML translation editor they already use, so there is no separate tool to learn. Field groups and settings sync between languages, and the structure and relationships of your fields are kept intact in each translation. It suits businesses, agencies and developers building multilingual sites on ACF, and developers get hooks and filters for adapting it to specific project needs.

Questions about ACF Multilingual

Do I need WPML and Advanced Custom Fields for this to work?

Yes. The plugin is designed to connect Advanced Custom Fields with WPML, so it works as a bridge between the two. It makes your ACF custom field content translatable within the WPML setup you run your multilingual site on.

Can it translate repeater fields and galleries?

Yes. It supports repeater and other complex fields, along with field types such as text, images, galleries and relationship fields. That lets you translate the full range of custom content on your pages rather than only the main post text.

Will my translators need to learn a new interface?

No. Custom fields appear in the WPML translation editor, so translators work on them in the same place they already handle other content. This keeps the translation process in a single, familiar workflow.

Do I have to rebuild my field groups for every language?

No. Custom field groups and settings are synced between languages automatically, and the structure and relationships of your fields are preserved in each translation. This reduces the manual maintenance of keeping languages consistent.
