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

Problem:
You are trying to use an ACF URL field with the WPML plugin on your site and want the URL field to have a copy setting that displays the same link in both languages. However, the URL field with the copy setting does not receive the correct link and displays the same link in both languages.
Solution:
This behavior is expected when using the Copy setting, as it ensures the same URL is applied 1:1 across all languages. If you need a different URL for each language, we recommend setting the field to Translate instead.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if further assistance is needed. You can do so at WPML support forum.

Hi,

This behavior is expected when using the Copy setting, as it ensures the same URL is applied 1:1 across all languages. If you need a different URL for each language, please set the field to Translate instead.

Or are you referring to the URL not automatically pointing to the translated version of the page?

Best regards,
Marcel
