[Resolved] custom fields not sync on the translated page

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with custom fields using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) in a multilingual WordPress site. Although these fields are empty in the original Dutch version, the translated German version still displays old placeholder text. The client is questioning whether WPML should automatically clear the translated version when the original field is emptied.
Solution:
We explained that WPML does not automatically remove content from translated versions if the primary language content is deleted. To resolve this issue, we recommend manually deleting the German language translation of the page where the fields appear. After deletion, the client should retranslate the page to ensure that the translated version reflects the current state of the original page. This process will help synchronize the content correctly across different languages.
