Hi John

Thanks for the link, it helped me find a solution that works for me. Here it is!

Template-Code:

// Use this to force ACF to look for the "all" version of the fields.
	add_filter('acf/settings/current_language', function() { return 'all' ; } );

// Insert your regular ACF code between the add_filter and remove_filter lines.
	echo get_field('my_language_independet_option_field', 'option');

// Use this to re-enable language-specific retrieval of ACF fields.
	remove_filter('acf/settings/current_language', function() { return ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE ; } );

Backend- / Admin-Code (functions.php):

function force_redirect_to_the__all__version_of_global_options() {
	// correct page
		global $pagenow ;
		if($pagenow === "admin.php" && isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] === "global-options") { // global-options is the menu_slug you defined in acf_add_options_page
			// lang not 'all'?
				if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE !== 'all') {
					// manipulate query (set lang to "all")
						$query = $_GET;
						$query['lang'] = 'all';
						$query_result = http_build_query($query);
					// redirect and die
						wp_redirect(get_admin_url() . 'admin.php?' . $query_result);
						die();
				}
		}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'force_redirect_to_the__all__version_of_global_options');
