Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with images in an ACF field only displaying on English posts and not on Spanish posts, despite using the ACF WPML add-on.
Solution:
We found that the issue was due to the translation settings for the ACF Field Group. It is not recommended to set the translation preference for the 'acf-field-group' post type to Translatable as it creates separate field groups for each language, requiring manual configuration for each. To fix this, we set the ACF Field Group's translation preference to "Not Translatable" and deactivated the translated field group. We then set the translation preference for the `topic_featured_image` and `_topic_featured_image` meta fields to "Copy." After making a minor change and saving it via "Posts > Tag > Quick Edit," the featured image was successfully copied to the translated tag and displayed correctly on the frontend.
