Values in an ACF repeater won’t show up if they’re only filled in a translated language

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where repeater fields are not displayed when filled in a translated language on your site, this could be due to the setup of your translation configuration. Specifically, if a page is created in one language and then copied to another, with repeater fields added only in the translated version, these fields might not show up as expected.
Solution:
We recommend ensuring that you are using the ACFML addon and have set the field group mode to 'Different fields across languages'. It's crucial to use the

1	`wpml_object_id`

hook to retrieve the correct post ID in the translated language. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to implement this:

<?php<br />$repeater_field = 'rep'; // Change this to your repeater field name<br />$text_sub_field = 'text'; // Change this to your text field inside the repeater<br />$translated_post_id = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', get_the_ID(), 'post');<br />if (have_rows($repeater_field, $translated_post_id)) {<br />    echo '<ul>'; // Start a list for better formatting<br />    while (have_rows($repeater_field, $translated_post_id)) {<br />        the_row();<br />        $text_value = get_sub_field($text_sub_field);<br />        if ($text_value) {<br />            echo '<li>' . esc_html($text_value) . '</li>';<br />        }<br />    }<br />    echo '</ul>'; // Close the list<br />} else {<br />    echo '<p>No data available.</p>';<br />}<br />?>
