CookieYes (Formerly Cookie Law Info) plugin CCPA Text always displays in the default language

Overview of the issue

The cookie consent popup displays untranslated CCPA text on the front-end, even though the text is correctly translated via WPML → String Translation.

This happens because the text is loaded before WPML is initialized. We’ve reached out to the authors to resolve the issue permanently.
