Friends, hello. The answer was not found, I am sure that someone was able to solve this problem.

The problem is this: I have a field with a choice of different values.
The site is in two languages, there will be more in the future.
In the field settings, I have created values.
I can get

<?php $project_scope = get_field_object( "key_12345678" )["choices"]; ?>
 <select name="project_scope" class="uk-select _req">
<?php foreach ( $project_scope as $key => $value ): ?>
          <option value="<?php echo $key ?>"><?php echo $value ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>

And it works. But how do you make someone else choose meanings in another language?

The key is unique and is used only for 1 field. This is true and understandable.

I tried

<?php//   GET all value from select FROM ACF SETTING
$project_scope = get_field_object( acf_get_field("project_scope")["key"] )["choices"]; ?>
 <select name="project_scope" class="uk-select _req">
	<?php foreach ( $project_scope as $key => $value ): ?>
                 <option value="<?php echo $key ?>"><?php echo $value ?></option>
	<?php endforeach; ?>
 </select>

I still get the values from the default language. And not from which one is active.
What parameter would I pass to get the value from this field but from another language?

Is hardcoding your array of options a viable solution?

$project_scope = array(
	'key1' => __('value1', 'text-domain'),
	'key2' => __('value2', 'text-domain'),
	'key3' => __('value3', 'text-domain'),
)

WPML string translation could scan all values wrapped in __() and you can easily translate them.

If you still want these values to be available in an ACF select field, you can dynamically populate that field using the same source:

add_filter('acf/load_field/name=project_scope', 'my_project_scope_options');
function my_project_scope_options( $field ) {
	global $project_scope;
    $field['choices'] = $project_scope; //You can do this because it already is an associative array
    return $field;   
}
