This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client has an Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) block with a post object field to select custom posts of the type 'product'. On the backend, when editing the English homepage, the posts appear in the default Dutch language instead of English, although in the frontend, the posts display in the correct language.
Solution:
We acknowledge this behavior and it is a known issue related to language cookies. We are currently working on improvements for future releases. As a temporary workaround, we suggest the following steps:
1. Try refreshing the edit page a few times.
2. From the User profile, select the option "Set admin language as editing language."
If these steps do not resolve the issue or if this solution doesn't seem relevant to your situation, please open a new support ticket with us.

I have an ACF block with a post object field to select custom posts of the type 'product'. In my default (Dutch) language I have 4 posts selected. All those posts are translated in the different languages.

I have added the block which shows those posts to the homepage. When I edit for example the English homepage in the backend the posts show up in my default (Dutch) language instead of the English language which I would expect. See screenshots.

In the frontend everything is ok, it does show the posts in the correct language.

Hello,

yes, that is a known thing, and it happens with different things not only ACF posts, it is because of language cookies, we are working on improving this in the future.

As a workaround, you can try refreshing the edit page a few times, or from the User profile select "Set admin language as editing language."

Let me know how it goes and if you have any other doubts.

Regards,
Drazen
