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

Problem:
The client reported that the titles of different filter items on their website were not appearing as strings available for translation when using the YITH filters.
Solution:
We reviewed the issue and found that the YITH filters were translated correctly as per the documentation. The problem was with the widget settings in Appearance > Widgets, where the BG filter widget was set to display on all languages. We adjusted the settings so that the BG filter is shown only on the BG language, and the EN filter is shown only on the EN language. After this change, the filter titles appeared correctly and were available for translation.

Yes the cause is the same for the other ticket.
The issue is fully fixed and some other things in translations in the website.

Closed the other ticket.
One last thing. Can you please open a ticket for the YITH filter titles as it was not fixed by this.
The problem: Filter titles are not visible as strings.

On this page for example: hidden link

When showing the filters by "Show filters" they open up.
The "titles" of different filter items do not appear as strings to translate.
Sending a screenshot.

Hello,

I’ve checked this and it looks like the YITH filters themselves were translated correctly, following the documentation.

However, in Appearance > Widgets, the BG filter widget was set to display on all languages. I’ve adjusted this so that the BG filter is shown only on the BG language, and the EN filter is shown only on the EN language. After this change, everything is working correctly.

You can review this here:

Let me know if you notice anything else or need further help.

Regards,
Drazen

Thank you.

It must be that setting "All languages" is not correct for widgets even if there is specific version for the secondary language.

Now all seems to be fixed. Thank you for everything. Have a great day!
