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

Problem:
If you're unable to find the column names for translating the Shipping method title in the String translation, it might be due to a conflict with the Translatable use translation if available or fallback to default language settings for Products post type in WPML>>Settings>>Post Types Translation. This issue typically occurs because all the products are currently only in the English language.
Solution:
We recommend translating a product to check if the issue persists. The string will only refresh when updating the cart, which does not occur if a product is added to the cart from the Bulgarian language. Please view these screencasts for more details:

This issue has been escalated to our developers for a permanent fix, and we will update you as soon as we receive more information from them.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. 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 the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.

Hi Bigul,

I deactivated the W3 plugin, flushed the cache server-side and cleared the browser cache. There is still no translation of "Free shipping". Thanks.

Hi Bigul,

I just wanted to add another related bug. I've translated "Orders up to 50 BGN" in Bulgarian and when I am visiting the English version the Bulgarian translation pops up. Thanks

Hello,

This bug is happening because of a conflict with *Translatable use translation if available or fallback to default language* settings for *Products* post type in WPML>>Settings>>Post Types Translation. Now all the products are existing in the English language only.

So the string will be refreshed only when we update the cart. But it will not happen if we add a Product to the cart from the Bulgarian language. Please check the following screencasts for more details. So please translate a product and make sure the issue is existing or not.

Hi,
It's been a while and the problem still appears. Can you provide any updates? There are other strings that are not being translated on my website. Is it possible to get a refund if I am not satisfied with the overall performance of your service? Thanks.
