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

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where changes or additions to the layout of the default language page are not displayed on the front end after translating with the WPML Translation Editor. The ACF Flexible Content field is set to 'Copy once' and on 'Expert' option.
Solution:
We recommend setting the ACF Flexible Content field to 'Copy' instead of 'Copy once' when using the WPML Translation Editor to ensure that the layout changes are properly carried over to the translations. For more detailed guidance on setting the correct custom fields translation preferences for ACF and WPML, please refer to our documentation:

Hello,
the work around seems to be working.
I have another issue though.
As i mentioned the site is build using ACF with the Flexible Content option.
Flexible content is set to copy once and on Expert option.
When i create a page and save it then i'm using the WPML translation editor to procced with the translations.
So far everything is ok.
If i add or change the layout of the default language and proceed with the translation using WPML Translation editor i can see the additional content and translate it but it doesn't display on the front end. If i manually switch to the translated page from the back end the added layout is missing.

Thank you in advance

Hello,

as for flexible layout, that is expected since you have set it to Copy-Once, if you are using the WPML translation editor and keeping the same layout, the flexible / repeater main field should be set to COPY.
