# Custom Fields and Terms Meta Fields Translation

By default, **AutoPoly – AI Translation for Polylang** does not support custom fields and terms meta fields translation.

So, if your website uses custom fields through plugins such as **ACF**, those fields must be enabled before automatic translation.

Follow the steps below to enable automatic translation for **custom fields and terms meta fields**:

## Enable Custom Fields Translation

To enable custom field translation:

- From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to **Languages > AutoPoly** **> Custom Fields**.

- Locate the custom field you want to translate.

- Use the checkboxes to enable the custom field's translation.

- Once done, click **Save Fields**.

Once enabled, the selected custom fields will be translated whenever the related content is translated.

### Important Note

If **Custom Fields Synchronization** is enabled in Polylang, **AutoPoly** will not translate custom field values even if the fields are selected for translation in AutoPoly.

To allow AutoPoly to translate custom fields:

- From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to **Languages > Settings**.

- Open the **Synchronization** section.

- Disable **Custom Fields Synchronization** for the custom fields.

- Save the settings.

Failure to disable synchronization may result in custom field values being copied from the original language instead of being translated.

## Enable Terms Meta Fields Translation

To enable **terms meta fields** translation:

- From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to **Languages > AutoPoly** **> Terms Meta Fields**.

- Locate the fields you want to translate.

- Use the checkboxes to enable the field's translation.

- Once done, click **Save Fields**.
