# [BUG] Custom fields WPML

 * I stumbled upon a bug today in Types in conjunction with WPML.
 * On a website I have defined multiple custom fields in the Types plugin. Those
   fields are set to “Don’t translate” for WPML. In WPML I had enabled the option
   to register strings only when I’m logged in as administrator. Despite the “Don’t
   translate” setting the field values appears in the string translation of WPML
   when I visit the page where to specific fields are displayed.
 * The problem is when the specific field is in the “string translation” of WPML
   it overrules the actual value of the field. So when I change the value of the
   field at the post it won’t be reflected on the website. When I remove the string
   from WPML the expected value is visible on the website.
 * For now I disabled to automatic registering of strings.
