A step-by-step guide to translating Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) content in WordPress using the Gato AI Translations for Polylang plugin. The plugin integrates directly with ACF field groups, letting you configure each field to either sync or translate across languages. It supports AI-powered translation services (ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Mistral) and dedicated services (DeepL, Google Translate). The guide walks through installing the required plugins, configuring Polylang, setting per-field translation options, and executing bulk translations — including handling entity references like images and related posts.
