Language field do not exist in ACF options

[robert-orlinski]

Hi, I am trying to get access to the "language" field while querying ACF option fields but I am not able to do so - there is no such field and as a result, there is no way to do a query like this:

siteSettings(language: EN) {
    siteSettings {
        footerTitle
    }
}

I have the plugin installed in WordPress, along with ACF Options for Polylang, Advanced Custom Fields PRO, WP Gatsby, WP GraphQL, WP GraphQL Polylang, WPGraphQL Custom Post Type UI, WPGraphQL for Advanced Custom Fields - uninstalling singular and checking if the problem disappears does not work and that's the reason I am asking here.

From the Gatsby side, I was using both gatsby-source-wordpress and gatsby-source-graphql, and no one is showing anything like "languages" filter.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Facing the same issue. I hope it get fixed soon otherwise another option is to go with WPML.

Same here. On two projects it became necessary to use. Looks like I'll have to change the plugin to WPML

Any Updates?

The plugin emits a warning if there is no explicit graphql_field_name on an options page and skips adding a language argument. My workaround was to add this filter:

use WPGraphQL\Utils\Utils;

/**
 * Makes sure that an explicit graphql_field_name name is set for each ACF
 * options page, because wp-graphql-polylang won’t add language support to it
 * otherwise.
 */
add_filter("acf/validate_options_page", function ($page) {
  if (!empty($page["show_in_graphql"]) && empty($page["graphql_field_name"])) {
    $type_name = Utils::format_type_name($page["menu_slug"]);
    $page["graphql_field_name"] = Utils::format_field_name($type_name);
  }
  return $page;
});

  }
  return $page;
});

This workaround worked for me. Thanks.

    $page["graphql_field_name"] = Utils::format_field_name($type_name);
  }
  return $page;
});

This doesn't work. After adding this filter, although the "language" parameter can appear, no matter what value is passed to "language", the result always returns the default value.

Add the filter by @jeanfredrik and the following line both can fix this issue.
