I am using Synchronized Translations but I now need to remove the synch on 1 field only (leaving all other synched fields as they are) but cannot figure out how to do this. The synched field works fine - the same data appears in both languages - the problem is that we now have data in the synched field that is language specific, so what I need to do is effectively clone the field contents (within the same content type) to each language (English/Spanish) so that we can edit the language specific parts. (the data is a list of links that in some/most cases now need to link to the relevant language - not just a case of prefixing "/es" as the url components are also translated eg /dog/cat => /es/perro/gato .. lousy example but hopefully that highlights the problem)

Work around.

Having struggled with View Batch Operations - just couldn't get it to work - I tried the following (which worked)

1. In the relevant Content Type, edit the relevant field and under field settings (Field Translation) select "Enable Translation"

2. In PHPMyAdmin, used SQL commands to duplicate the field table, remove entries with different 'bundle' and change language, then merged this with the original field table

The end result works however the "Synchronized Translations" tab still shows the field as being synched (which it obviously isn't) -- treat this tab as showing what would be synched if it wasn't being translated! I'll raise a bug report (http://drupal.org/node/1990376) on this.
