Problem: The client needed to know how to use a single ACF text field in multiple languages on a WordPress site without having to translate the ACF label. Solution: We advised the client that when they create a field in ACF, it is available across all languages and can be accessed from each language within the specified post type. It is important to ensure that the translation settings for the field group containing the field are correctly configured. We recommended using the "ACF Multilingual" plugin and adjusting the translation settings for the field groups and fields within it. We provided a guide for detailed instructions:
We also noted that according to the WPML Debug Information, the plugin was not active on the client's site. We advised the client to install and activate the "ACF Multilingual" plugin and set up the translation mode for the field group.
