Problem: The client has a custom ACF block called Header Block with multiple fields (title, subtitle, content, button label, etc.), but only the button label is showing, and the other fields are not. The client is following the WPML documentation for translating sites built with ACF but is facing an issue because the field names are not unique across blocks.

Therefore, translation preferences are set by field name, necessitating their uniqueness. Here are some resources to help understand the importance of unique field names:
