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.
You can find the required fields below the comment section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, which means only you and I can see and access it.
IMPORTANT
Please be sure to make a backup copy of the website and database before allowing us access.
If you can't see the wp-admin / FTP fields, your post and website credentials are set as PUBLIC. DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.
I may have to install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" to make a copy of the website where I can investigate the issue further.
However, I would also be very grateful if you could provide a staging site or copy of the website from your server yourself for this purpose.
If you have any questions about creating such a staging site, you can consult your hosting provider. Just take note that WPML should be registered on this site again.
If you are unable to provide such a copy of the site for testing, please let me know on this ticket.

If you use the WPML Translation Editor for translating the pages and posts, I suggest you use the field group setting "Same fields across language", which will auto-adjust all the necessary field settings.
Okay but on further checking the actual field that I am referring to that is not being translated does not have a duplicate name within acf fields, please see image for field I am having issue with.
the acf group name is Search form
the acf feild name is Banner Top Notice
Please check why this field is not being translated

Thank you for the provided details!
The banner that is displayed on the website is coming from the Options Page "Search Form" and can only be translated manually by switching the language inside the top admin bar.
These strings will not be available when translating a post or page and can not be translated automatically.
It appears that our documentation is not clear enough on this purpose. You actually should set the field group to "Different fields across languages" for this purpose.
I created a translation on the German Options Page for "Search Form" but sadly the translations are not rendered on Frontend.
The issue seems to be related to how the fields are displayed on Frontend.
According to this ACF documentation, you need to add a second parameter to the get_field() or the_field() function that uses the current $post_id as the second parameter:

I suppose if you would follow this suggestion then WPML would know the actual ID of the translated post and should display the translation.
It looks as if you are not using ACF's suggested workflow for displaying the strings in your theme.
