I want to translate the text "Additional content" on my order confirmation from woocommerce

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

Problem:
The client needed to translate text within the WPML plugin but was unable to find where to add these translations.
Solution:
1. Navigate to WPML->String Translations.
2. At the bottom of the String Translation table, click on "Translate text in admin screens".
3. Search for the strings there and if found, select them and add them using the "Add to string translation" button.
4. Click on "Return to String Translations" and proceed to translate the text.
For more detailed guidance, visit WPML String Translation documentation.
Additionally, if the above steps do not resolve the issue, adding a custom XML configuration might be necessary.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Also, check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Shekhar Bhandari Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, I added the following xml in WPML->Settings->Custom XML configuration and it worked for me. You can generate the xml from the same place you added it to string translations <wpml-config> <admin-texts> <key name="woocommerce_customer_processing_order_settings"> <key name="additional_content"/> </key> </admin-texts> </wpml-config> Can you check if it's all okay now? Look forward to your reply. Thanks
