Have also used templates in the past, but stumbled on this post when wanting to have a cleaner solution for a new project. Unfortunately I can’t get this to work for pages. I don’t translate custom field groups, they’re the same in all languages. But the location rule only works for the language that was active when selecting a page.
I know this is an old post, but perhaps I’m missing something or the have been updates to ACF that means this doesn’t work any longer? Would be good if this was built into core ACF, seems quite logical that the system could convert which page/ID is being used.
