Displaying translated fields in a Ninja table using WPML's icl_object_id function?

Problem:
The client created a custom post type with associated custom fields using ACF, translated via WPML. They then used Ninja Table to display these fields. While it works in French, in English, the custom field values still appear in French, and the shortcodes added to the table do not display any content.

Solution:
We recommended modifying the function to dynamically retrieve the post type of the

1	`$post_id`

instead of hardcoding it. We also suggested adding error handling for missing fields and allowing dynamic shortcode attributes. Here is the revised code:

// Function to get translated ACF fields using WPML
function get_translated_acf_fields($post_id, $language_code = null) {
    if (!$language_code) {
        $language_code = apply_filters('wpml_current_language', null);
    }
    $translated_post_id = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $post_id, get_post_type($post_id), false, $language_code);
    if (!$translated_post_id) {
        return null;
    }
    $fields = array(
        'ville'      => get_field('ville', $translated_post_id),
        'publics'    => get_field('publics', $translated_post_id),
        'programmes' => get_field('programmes', $translated_post_id),
    );
    return $fields;
}
add_shortcode('ville_field', 'display_ville_field');
add_shortcode('publics_field', 'display_publics_field');
add_shortcode('programmes_field', 'display_programmes_field');

Additionally, we suggested testing the code without Ninja Table first and ensuring that Ninja Table is set as "Translatable" in WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation, then translating the tables and using their respective shortcodes in each language.
