# [Plugin: Polylang] Custom Field Content Overwritten

 * Hi there,
 * I got a strange issue on one of the websites I maintain: I run the site in English
   and in German, using Polylang. Further, I maintain a custom post type for publications,
   using the plugin Custom Content Type Manager to establish and to administrate
   the custom post type. This post type makes use of several custom fields, which
   are correctly stored in the database.
 * However, whenever I change the content of one of the custom fields, the content
   is overwritten in the corresponding post of the other language as well. While
   this may be handy in cases where it is important to have identical custom field
   contents in both language versions, it is extremely unconvenient in my case. 
   What can I do to avoid/repair this?
 * Cheers
    Anders

 * I should have queried the forum first, sorry!!! The problem was that I had opted
   for custom field synchronisation in the admin tab. Once I unchecked this option
   everything worked fine!
