markusS-78	Background of the issue: I am trying to change the button label from 'Book now' to 'Add to Cart' and translate this to German ('Zum Warenkorb hinzufügen') using Woocommerce Bookings. I edited the functions.php to change the button label and added a text domain 'doras-cheesecake'. I used the WPML translation function and scanned the theme for strings. It found the string 'Add to Cart', and I added the German translation. Symptoms: The German translation doesn't show up on any of the products. It always says 'Add to Cart'. Questions: Is there anything else I've forgotten? Why doesn't the German translation show up on the products?
