i have created the product in English and added that custom field name as barcode which you code you will get in function.PHP file. however we have tried to translate this product into Spanish in your provided link( hidden link) and there also have the same issue that product other data has been copied but our custom field data is not being copied.for the reference i am attaching the screen shot also of Spanish product where barcode is not present.
I have checked and could see the "issue", you are saving a custom field as
barcode_*
. So you need to target that custom field which in your example case is barcode_0, you can do that via custom XML configuration. If you set it to copy there, then it copies just fine on the translated page also.

I am not a developer so not sure if you can adjust further this code, but if you need help with custom coding and adjusting your code we advise hiring WPML contractors: https://wpml.org/contractors/
