How to add multilingual support to a custom WordPress theme built with ACF

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I really can't find any answer to my question around the web.

I'm working to add multilingual support to the text of a custom WordPress theme. The website, for the most part, has been developed off of ACF fields; & I'm unsure as to how to access the .po files associated with these text fields.

I've followed some steps outlined in a previous Stack Exchange question, (about a similar matter) using Poedit to translate the default WordPress text from the theme.pot file, however this does not include the text input via the ACF plugin.

Additionally, I already have all the translated text for the website, so we would like to avoid licensing any 3rd party software/development tools, such as automatic translation plugins.

There are some plugins, most of them are not free and I had problems with the others.

How many languages do you want to support?

Most of the time I clone the website to a subdomain en.example.com and translate it there or install wordpress as a multisite.
