Split: ACF Options Page Repeater

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is facing several issues with WPML integration on their site. Firstly, their Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) license has expired, and they are concerned about its impact on WPML’s handling of field translations or syncing of dynamic data. Secondly, the ACF Options Page set as translatable is not displaying repeater fields data in translated versions. Lastly, despite disabling slug translation in WPML settings, dynamic field slugs are still being translated, causing issues with data display on translated pages.

Solution:
For the issue with the ACF Options Page not displaying repeater fields in translated versions, we recommend manually adding and saving translations for the options page in the second language. You can follow the detailed guide here: Translating the ACF Options Page Custom Fields with WPML.

If the provided solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

sandraB-42	Hello, I am experiencing several issues on my site with WPML integration. Please note that I am not using any widgets in my configuration. ACF License Expired: My Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) license key has expired. Could this affect WPML’s handling of field translations or syncing of dynamic data? ACF Options Page Repeater Fields Not Displaying: I have an ACF Options Page that is set as translatable. However, the repeater fields on this page are not displaying any data in the translated versions, while they work fine in the primary language. Dynamic Slug Translation Issue: Despite having disabled slug translation in WPML settings (I have unchecked any option that would translate slugs), it appears that WPML is still translating dynamic field slugs. This causes the builder or code to fail to recognize the correct field names, resulting in data not being displayed in the translated pages. Could you please advise on: Whether an expired ACF license might cause translation or syncing issues, How to ensure that the repeater fields on the Options Page display correctly in all languages, and How to prevent WPML from translating dynamic field slugs so that the builder or code recognizes the correct field names. Thank you for your assistance.
