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

Problem:
You are trying to translate a button on your homepage into Spanish, but it is not displaying the translation. The button is part of an ACF link called 'Button' from the 'Two Column' ('two-col-all') ACF module, and it is inside the 'CTA' ACF Repeater.
Solution:
First, ensure that your fields are set correctly in WPML's Custom Field Translation Settings. The Repeater Field should be set to 'Copy once', and the Link field should be set to 'Copy' if you want to use the same link in both languages, or 'Translate' if you need different URLs for each language. You can find more details on setting these options in the documentation.
After adjusting these settings, edit the link field on the original content, save the page, and then translate it again. If necessary, use the text search field in the WPML Advanced Translation Editor to find and translate the specific link.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your current setup, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate a button on the homepage of my site hidden link to Spanish. This button is part of an ACF link called 'Button', from the 'Two Column' ('two-col-all') ACF module, and it lives inside the 'CTA' ACF Repeater. I have applied the same options and configuration as I did for other buttons on the homepage.

Symptoms:
The button is not getting its Spanish translation on the '/es/' homepage.

Questions:
Can you please let me know why the button is not getting translated to Spanish?
Can you help me find a solution for this issue?

Hello,

Currently your fields appear to be set to "Not translate".

The Repeater Field needs to be set to "Copy once".

The Link field can be set to "Copy" if you would like to use the same link in both languages or to "Translate" to translate the URL.

More details:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/recommended-custom-fields-translation-preferences-for-acf-and-wpml/

After changing the settings for your field, please edit the link field on the original content, save the page and then translate it again.

To translate the link you might need to use the text search field on the top section of the WPML Advanced Translation Editor to search for the link that you are trying to translate.

Best regards
Andreas
