Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where links in the content of an ACF field for French categories were reverting to English during the localization process, despite other content remaining in French. The ACF fields in both the blog post and the category had the same name, causing a mix-up during translation. Solution: We recommended renaming the ACF field in the category to a unique name to avoid conflicts during the translation process. The client implemented this change by renaming the category field to 'cat_next_steps_cta', which resolved the issue. We also advised using unique field names globally in the future to prevent similar problems.
