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

Problem:
The client is working on a site under development and needs to know which addon WPML will support between Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and Secure Custom Fields (SCF).
Solution:
We support both ACF and SCF, and both are compatible with WPML. SCF has maintained the same class name and structure as ACF, which ensures continued compatibility. For more details, you can refer to the discussion on WordPress support about ACF and SCF compatibility: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-ml-compatibility/
Additionally, please review a related support ticket where compatibility with both ACF and SCF was confirmed: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/compatibility-with-acf-scf/

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hi there,

We support both, and both are compatible with WPML.

SCF has kept the same class name and structure, as explained here, so it should maintain the same compatibility status:

Also, please review this existing ticket, where one of my colleagues also confirmed this:

I hope you find this information helpful.
