Problem: The client wants data entered in the main language (FR) for ACF repeater fields to be automatically copied to other languages (EN, NL, DE) without the possibility of modification. Despite having set the fields to 'Copy' in WPML's 'expert mode', some repeater fields are still editable in other languages, and changes in FR are not reflected in other languages. Solution: We found that the issue was due to incorrect settings for the ACF repeater fields. Only the 'bungalows_semaine' field was set to 'copy', while the other fields were not. After adjusting the settings to 'copy' for all relevant fields and using the translation editor to translate a draft page, the fields were successfully locked and copied from the original. It's crucial to use the translation editor for WPML to apply the ACF translation preferences correctly.
