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

Problem:
The client is trying to display translated strings on their WooCommerce page but is seeing French strings instead of the expected English ones.
Solution:
We recommend checking if the strings were generated by a WooCommerce extension or if they are default WooCommerce strings. The client should try to remove the strings, register them again, and then translate them. To auto-register strings, we suggest following the instructions in our documentation on finding strings that don't appear on the String Translation page.

If this solution doesn't look relevant, please open a new support ticket.

Were the strings generated by some Woocommerce extension or are they default Woocommerce strings?

Please try remove them, register again, and translate. You can auto-register the strings, check out this https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#enable-auto-register-strings.

Hi,
It worked removing the strings and creating them again, while keeping "auto-register" activated. Thanks
