    Hello,

    I’m happily using ACF and polylang in my multilingual website.
    Now, I need to translate choice of checkbox field.

    Example:
    FIELD TYPE: CHECKBOX

    Choices:
    1 : One
    2 : Two
    3: Three

    I need to show “One, Two, Three” to English editor, and “Uno, Due, Tre” to Italian editor.
    (Choices are syncronized)

    Is it possible?

    I found a solution that worked well for me.

    1. Register every choices in your functions.php 

    <?php 
pll_register_string("one", "One", "group" );
pll_register_string("two", "Two", "group" );
pll_register_string("three", "Three", "group" );
?>

    2. Show the translated value on your theme page

    <?php 
$my_field_name = get_field_object('my_field_name'); //Get the object
$value_my_field_name = get_field('my_field_name'); //Get the value
pll_e($my_field_name['choices'][$value_my_field_name]); //Translate the selected value
?>

    3. Go to Settings > Languages > Strings translations and translate.
