ACF Archive Slug translation

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

Problem:
The client is trying to translate a custom post archive created with ACF from German to English, specifically from 'leistung' to 'service'. However, when attempting to edit the slug in the Archive Settings in ACF, it also changes the German slug.
Solution:
We recommend going to WPML > Settings > Taxonomies Translation and setting your custom taxonomy to "Translatable - only show translated items." Next, enable WPML > Settings > Slug translations and translate the slug accordingly. If this does not resolve the issue, it might be because the solution is outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Please open the English page inside the WordPress Editor and change the permalink from "leistung" to "service". This should usually solve this issue. Is this the only page with this issue on your site? Best regards Andreas

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	It should be sufficient to go to WPML > Settings > Taxonomies Translation and set your custom taxonomy to "Translatable - only show translated items." Then enable WPML > Settings > Slug translations and translate the slug. See screenshot. Let me know, in case this does not work out as expected.
