Background of the issue:
I am experiencing an issue with the ACF Gutenberg block when using the auto-translate feature. I have a text field within a block that is repeated multiple times on the same page. Despite setting the text field to 'translate', one instance of the block is not being translated correctly.
Symptoms:
All instances of the ACF block are translated except for one, even though they contain different content but are the same block type.
Questions:
Why is one instance of the ACF block not translating when all others are?
Is there a specific setting or error that might be causing this issue with the auto-translate feature?
Good morning,
I understand, but we are talking about one block used several times. I am unable to register a group of fields with different field names "title".
The problem that occurs is that out of 5 occurrences of the same block, only one does not translate (checked in two languages).
"I am unable to register a group of fields with different field names "title"
Do those fields use different field names or not?
If all groups use the same field name "title" then this will cause unexpected issues.
I would like to offer to have a closer look at the problem and request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate this issue further.

I am sorry if I repeat myself, but it seems I did not explain clearly enough.
You can not use the same field name in different groups.
For example:
Various groups have the field name "title".
If there is more than one field in your ACF Groups with the same field name, then not all fields will show up for translation.
From our docs:
Make sure each of the custom fields across your different field groups has a unique Field Name. If you use the same Field Name with more than one custom field, you may not see all your field values available for translation in the Advanced Translation Editor.
Please go ahead and change the name in one of the group of block fields on the dev version and verify the error by adding the same block several times on the same page, and then check whether all fields are translatable in ATE.
You are using 134 Field Groups with a few hundred fields.
My apologies, but it is timely not possible for our support team to go through all your groups and revise and re-assign any single field.
This is not the responsibility of our support team.
We were able to confirm that the site is not following the recommended workflow and I would kindly like to ask you to revise this issue, make the suggested adjustments, and then test again.
If following the suggested workflow will not solve the issue, then please contact us again and if possible, provide us access to a staging site on which we can see the issue.
I am not asking you to change all the field groups, but just try to fix the error for one field group for the Gutenberg block, so that I can fix the others later. The main problem concerns the [BLOCK] – CTA field group.
