Questions about ACF, WpGridbuilder, string translation and more

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needed assistance with several issues:
1. Translating values in an ACF select field.
2. Translations not showing up on the frontend when using WPGridbuilder and WPML AddOn.
3-7. Translating placeholders and buttons.
8. Partial translations when using a filter on the English version of the site.

See marks 2-10 Questions regarding checkout page with cartflows Screenshot: SCREEN-3.jpg I am using the free version of the plugin cartflows and can´t get the checkout and thank you page translated correctly. I have read what you written about Cartflows: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/multilanguage-for-cartflows-checkout/ However, I don´t understand what to do in my case. I don't understand the following steps mentioned: 3. Translate the created Cartflow using WPML's duplicate feature. 4. Edit the duplicated Cartflow using the WordPress Standard Editor and set it to translate independently. Then next 5. Clone each step using the Cartflows feature. I don´t have cartflows pro, so I cannot clone. What can I do to get it fixed?

Meanwhile this ticket is taken by one of my colleagues, I'll recommend checking https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/translating-acf-field-labels-with-wpml/ for "How can I translate the values in the ACF select field?". For the other question(s), I recommend opening separate ticket(s) because as per forum policy we can only handle one issue per ticket. So you can get more to the point help, without mixing up several issues in one long ticket. Regards.
