Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with ACF repeater fields in WPML where emptying a main language text field causes the second language value to retain the old translation instead of becoming blank, this might be due to the field settings.
Solution:
First, ensure that your WPML and all related add-ons are updated to the latest version. You can check and update your versions here.
For the specific issue of the ACF repeater fields, here are the steps we recommend:
1. Manually remove the field content in the WordPress Editor:
- Update the post after removing the value of the button.
- Switch to the translation view in the WordPress Editor by clicking 'WordPress Editor' under the 'Languages' section in the sidebar or using the language switcher in the header.
- Manually remove the content from the relevant ACF field in the secondary language to ensure it remains blank.
2. Adjust the ACF field setting:
- Change the ACF field setting from TRANSLATE to COPY if you want the empty value to be mirrored across translations.
