    Hi,

    Step 4 of the documentation at https://metabox.io/translate-custom-fields-with-wpml/#step-4-translate-custom-fields-with-wpml-plugin explains translating custom fields with WPML. But it does not mention the field groups. Do they need to be translated/duplicated to the secondary languages?

    Hi,

    To my knowledge, we shouldn't translate the field group (meta box) because the field group ID and custom field ID will be different in other languages. So if you use the code to get the field value rwmb_meta( 'field_id' ) in the template, it will not return the correct value.
