I have a Wordpress website with a custom post type that uses custom fields. I have a multilanguage setup with German and English translations. I use the following plugins to get the multilanguage-fuctionality:
On one of my pages I want to display the custom field named Titel. I use this php code: <?php _e(get_field( 'Titel', false, false ));?>
The weird thing now is that both the English and German version of this field contain the string Blue. However, on the German version of the page, this string gets translated to the German version of Blue which is Blau. But I do not want this to be translated (that's why I entered Blue also in the German version of the field). I would assume that simply the string Blue is then also displayed in the German version. I already spent one hour to find out where/how the string gets translated, but to no avail.
Any help to identify why/how the string gets translated is appreciated.
It turns out that the _e() function is a wordpress built in translation function. I replaced it with a simple echo and now the string does not get translated anymore.
