The client is trying to translate Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) option pages using WPML and encounters issues with retrieving translated values using WordPress's native functions. They find that the translated values only appear when manually including the language code in the option key.
Solution:
1. To retrieve translated ACF option values, use the following ACF-specific functions after ensuring you have backed up your site:
//Retrieve a field
$variable = get_field('field_name', 'option');
//Display a field
<p><?php the_field('field_name', 'option'); ?></p>

Problem: The client was unable to display credits on their multisite installation's subsite using WPML. They were unsure how to assign or share credits between the main site and the subsite. Solution: 1. We advised the client to unregister and then re-register their WPML plugin using a new site key. This process involves removing the current site key from their WPML account, generating a new one, and updating the key in the website's backend under Plugins > Add new > Commercial. 2. After re-registering, the client should follow the steps outlined in our documentation on how to assign automatic translation credits to your sites to add credits successfully. 3. If issues persist, it might be due to a server or compatibility issue. We recommended ensuring the server meets WPML's minimum requirements and testing for plugin or theme conflicts by deactivating all non-WPML plugins and switching to a default theme. 4. For multisite setups, we confirmed that credits could be shared between the main site and subsites, or a separate automatic translation account could be created for the subsite. Documentation on managing multisite translations and sharing credits can be found at multisite support and automatic translation subscription for multiple sites.

Problem: If you're completing a checkout in a secondary language and using Stripe as the payment method, you might be redirected to an incorrect 'thank you' page. The URL lacks the language parameter, leading you to the primary language's checkout page instead of the secondary language's 'order-received' endpoint. Solution: We recommend downgrading the String Translation Plugin to version 3.2.6 or WCML to version 5.2.1 as a temporary solution. You can download these versions from your WPML account. Additionally, we have a workaround that involves updating WooCommerce Multilingual to the latest version and following the steps provided in our Errata page:
If I use get_post_meta WordPress function to get the ACF Clone field, the result is the original language ID on a translated page which is wrong. For example:
