Hi,

before your ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues, please allow me to walk you through some initial debugging steps. This will help speed up the support process.

Please take a look at this ticket:
How to Unlock ACF Custom Fields in Translations.

Are you using "Same fields across languages" as the translation preference?

Best regards,
Marcel
