PHP strings translation

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

Problem:
The client was experiencing an issue where parts of a page were not translated, even after translating them in String Translation, as they still appeared in the default language.
Solution:
We resolved the issue by taking the following steps:
1. We created a

404.php

file in the child theme.
2. We made slight changes to the code.
3. We deleted the

wpml_st_upgrade_in_progress

key from the

wp_options

table.
4. We translated the strings again.

We then asked the client to check if the translated strings were displaying correctly.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant due to it being outdated or not applicable to your case. If you're still facing issues, we highly recommend checking the related 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 with us.

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, 1) I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated. Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it. ❌ Please backup your database and website ❌ ✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical. ✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site. 2) Could you please share your Debug information with me? You can read a detailed explanation about it here. (http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support) The debug info will give me a lot of information about how your site is configured. Best regards, Osama

sergeyS-14	I found a solution here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/string-translation-not-working-for-some-admin-strings-checkout/ i added this to functions.php add_action('init', function (){ delete_transient('wpml_st_upgrade_in_progress'); }); Any way why is this happens? Is this WPML or WordPress cache problem?
