What’s New (Changelog) in ACFML v5.2.0
Translated pages carry their language in ACF's structured data, and 27 fixes.
What's new
- Translated pages carry the inLanguage property in the JSON-LD structured data that ACF outputs.
- When an AI agent creates an ACF field group through ACF's abilities, it can now choose the group's translation mode.
- With ACF Extended, bidirectional relationship fields now stay paired on translations after WPML copies, duplicates or translates them.
- Taxonomy custom fields set to Copy are locked on term translations.
- On the Custom Fields Translation settings, the underscore system field of a locked ACF field is now locked too.
- When ACF Multilingual is active without Advanced Custom Fields, a notice now says so and offers to activate or install it.
- The String Translation packages for field group labels are named after their field group, so it is clear what each one holds.
Performance
- ACF Link and URL fields that point to your own pages now keep their #anchor, query string and sub-path instead of being cut to the bare page address.
- "Overwrite with duplicate" on a field group refreshes ACF's field cache, so it no longer causes PHP warnings.
Fixes
- A row inserted into a Copy-mode flexible content field reaches translations that were edited in the WordPress editor.
- With one field group per language, a translation's admin editor shows its saved values, and saving there keeps them.
- Saving a translation of a post with repeater fields no longer causes a fatal error when its previous translation job cannot be read.
- ACF options values translated in String Translation appear on the site, and completed translation jobs no longer overwrite manual String Translation translations.
- ACF Select fields are copied correctly to translations of existing pages.
- Field groups loaded from acf-json send their translation preferences to WPML.
- Options-page values read after switching language return the switched language, not the language the request started in.
- Flexible content layouts keep their disabled state and custom name in translations.
- ACF bidirectional relationships are kept per language.
- Duplicating ACF Extended bidirectional posts no longer adds the translations to the original post's relationship.
- Row sync, Copy once and field-group setup also run on saves through REST, the front end, WP-CLI and ACF's own data store.
- Clone field subfields get the right translation preferences, and a Link field's target is no longer sent for translation.
- ACF blocks are supported with post-meta storage, inline block fields and field groups assigned to blocks.
- Changing an ACF field's translation preference also updates existing term translations, not only posts.
- On sites set up with WPML 5.0, ACF field groups open in the WordPress editor again instead of WPML's translation editor.
- Post types created in ACF while ACF Multilingual was deactivated get their labels registered for translation.
- The post editor no longer asks to translate a post manually when its field groups mix "Same content" and Expert modes.
- Upgrading from an ACF Multilingual version older than 2.2.0 no longer leaves an untranslated duplicate "Field Group Labels" package per field group.
- The field-group modes notice reads correctly in Spanish, Hebrew and other languages, without wrong plural wording around the field count.
- New layouts are copied in posts with Flexible Content fields.
- Saving a translated post in the WordPress editor no longer removes its system fields.
- A Taxonomy field connects the translated terms instead of creating new terms when you save in the WordPress editor.
