The only option to have multiple languages in the same is by installing external plugin. The only plugin of this type that MyHome support is WPML CMS. We officially do not support other plugins e.g. Polylang, qTranslate, Multilingual Press because these plugins do not have options that can translate all parts of MyHome.
WPML Multilingual CMS plugin cost 79$ - https://wpml.org and have 30 days money-back guarantee. Click button below to visit WPML Plugin website:

This problem with the featured image is related to the fact that WPML Media Translation Module can be used to duplicate featured image but it has bug related to Advanced Custom Field Gallery. This bug is reported and many people is waiting for this fix - https://wpml.org/forums/topic/acf-gallery-field-doesnt-work-with-wpml-media/ .
