Problem: The client is experiencing issues with ACF fields not maintaining consistent category assignments across different languages in a WPML environment. Specifically, when adjusting categories in one language, they appear random or default to the first alphabetical categories in another language. Solution: 1. Ensure all categories are correctly translated under WPML > Taxonomies translation. 2. In the default original language, adjust the field group's settings to have "identical fields on all languages". 3. Create a new post or page and assign it to one of the categories listed in the ACF group configuration. Save and check if the field displays on the original language post. 4. Duplicate or translate the post to a second language and verify if the fields are visible and if the correct category is assigned. If these steps do not resolve the issue, we recommend trying to replicate the issue on the provided sandbox environment. Additionally, please ensure that you have the latest versions of all themes and plugins installed. If the problem persists, it might be due to an outdated solution or a different issue. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix. If necessary, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
