Some ACF fields are available for translating and I don't want to.

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

Problem:
ACF fields labels are being shown when translating my content, I don't want these labels to be trnaslatable
Solution:
I was able to fix this by adding the following line of code under your wp-config.php :

define( 'ACFML_EXCLUDE_FIELD_GROUP_STRINGS_IN_POST_JOBS', true );

This will exclude your ACF field's labels from the translation editor.

Rut Abrado	In the Models custom post type, there are some fields that refers to a file (jpg, svg..) or labels that I don't want to translate because there are the same values for all languages. I configure the settings Custom Fields to "copy" (I also was triying with the option "don't translate") I've created a new post or modified an existing one, and the option to translate the fields are still appearing. Please, could you help me?
