Background of the issue:
I am using ACF fields to display values on my WordPress site, specifically on the page hidden link. I have set these fields to translate using WPML. In my front-end, I use custom code to display my fields, which includes a function 'ovr_product_meta_template' that retrieves and displays various post meta data. I have also debugged using error_log to print post meta data.

Symptoms:
Some ACF fields are not appearing on the English version of the page, while they do appear on the French version. Specifically, fields like Source, Date, Dimensions du dessin (en cm), Matières, and Support are missing in English.

Questions:
Why are some ACF fields not appearing on the English page?
Is there an issue with the translation settings for these fields?

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. Before passing this thread to my colleague, I would like to share some suggestions and possible solutions for the issues you mentioned.

We hope you are following the steps outlined in the documentation below:

https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/recommended-custom-fields-translation-preferences-for-acf-and-wpml/

https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/

Please upgrade to the latest version of WPML (4.7.4 series) after a full site backup{mandatory} and make sure the issue exists or not. You may have to visit Plugins>>Add New>>Commercial tab and click on the *Check for updates* button to get the WPML automatic upgrade links of the latest version. This step will help us refresh the installer caches.

If the problem exists, please share a couple of screenshots for a better understanding of the ACF Field and settings.

Thanks!
