Background of the issue:
I am using WPML to manage translations on my site hidden link. I am trying to ensure that pages remain in their translated state and to fully translate WooCommerce elements.

Symptoms:
Pages are reverting to English after being manually translated. Difficulty in finding and translating certain WooCommerce text strings like 'add to cart'.

Questions:
How do we prevent pages from reverting to English after being manually translated?
What are we missing in translating all of WooCommerce, specifically for text strings like 'add to cart'?

Hey there,

To translate such parts of WooCommerce, you can use String Translation. Please make a full website backup and follow these steps:

1. Go to WPML > Theme and Plugin Localization;
2. Select and scan your theme;
3. Select and scan the WooCommerce plugin;
4. Go to WPML > String Translation;
5. Search and translate the strings you wish;

Let me know if that works out for you.
