itsFarouk	Tell us what you are trying to do? I am trying to translate my checkout fields and am using the free version of Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce, but I can't, even I can't see any fields in the string translation. Is there any documentation that you are following? am following WPML official documentation. Is there a similar example that we can see? You can try to translate the "Company name" field in the checkout.

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to have a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info. ❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌ You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ ✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical. Look forward to your reply. Thanks

itsFarouk	and please note, I have many issues also, like for example, I already translated the header, but if you check the homepage in Arabic, you can see that the About us link is missing the menu in the header.

itsFarouk	Hi, thank you for your assistance, I did like you told me and it's working fine, but I have few another problems: 1- in Translation Management -> Tools -> Under "Who can use Automatic Translation?", I can't turn off the other admins from using the automatic translation. 2- in my website the currency are AED, by default in woocommerce it's "د.إ" so I had to put a function in function.php to change it to AED, but in Arabic it should be "د.إ" and I could translate the AED. 3- in checkout page there is "Flat rate" also I couldn't translate it. 4- why the URL are changing, like cart page in Arabic the URL is cart-2, and shop page in Arabic are shop-2, since we are adding a prefix in the URL /ar/ so why the URLs are changing and how to keep them as they are.
