Hello,
This problem seems to be currently expected, as the automatic translation engine will not know how to handle strings like "{acf_carreira_1_botao}".
WPML would need to check the Bricks content for dynamic tags first and make sure that those are not send to the translation editor interface.
For now, you could try to use the Glossary Feature of the Advanced Translation Editor to avoid such unexpected translations. You can declare the dynmaic tags as general terms (names), which will make sure that they are not longer getting translated.
I hope this might be a workaround for this particular case.
I will now try to recreate this issue on a new test site and then escalate this problem internally, so that our compatibility team can work on a solution for this problem.
