Problem: You are using WordPress with ACF Pro and WPML, and you have an ACF Relationship field named 'posts_to_display_in_grid' that allows multiple post types. The field is set to copy translations in WPML. While the order changes in the English (default language) backend and frontend are reflected correctly, changes made in the French backend do not persist, and the order reverts to English after saving. Additionally, the order on the French frontend does not match the backend. Solution: This issue appears to be related to a known problem documented on the WPML errata page. We recommend applying the workaround provided there. Please visit the following link for detailed instructions: WPML Errata Page. If you need to apply a specific code, use the following:

Problem: You are using the 'Translate Independently' option for pages on your WordPress site and managing components with ACF Flexible Content. After exporting and importing XLIFF files for translation, you notice that updates to the layout in the English version cause unintended changes and removal of content in the French version, despite the pages being set to 'Translate Independently'. Solution: We have identified that this issue affects both the standard WordPress editor and WPML translation editors. Currently, there is no direct workaround when using the site editor. However, we recommend adjusting the field group translation settings for fields like repeaters. You should set these fields to 'Copy Once' or 'Don't Translate'. When you make changes in one language, you will need to manually apply the same edits to the corresponding posts in other language versions.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check the related known issues and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
