Stock Status is not translated

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

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with the stock status not being translated in WooCommerce when using WPML, it might be due to the strings being custom coded without a registered text domain.
Solution:
We recommend asking your developer to add text domains to these strings. Once that's done, you can use WPML's String Translation to translate them. For more details on how to register strings with a text domain, please visit https://wpml.org/documentation/support/how-to-use-gettext/

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

youssefT-3	Hi Kor, Thanks for your support. Everything seems to be working now. One last question: the stock status (for example “Op voorraad”) doesn’t seem to be translated yet. Can you confirm if this will be automatically handled by WooCommerce + WPML for all languages, or if we need to configure this manually? Kind regards, Alex GetVitaCore

youssefT-3	I’m not working on the homepage anymore, so you can proceed with your checks. Earlier I was briefly in the editor, but it’s closed now. Thanks for your support.

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your patience. I’ve checked and it looks like the strings are custom coded here: hidden link For these strings to be translatable, they need to be registered with a text domain, as explained here: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/how-to-use-gettext/ Please ask your developer who created that custom section to add text domains to the strings. Once that’s done, you can use WPML’s String Translation to translate them: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/
