haraldK-9	Background of the issue: I am working on a site under development and trying to translate the checkout page using WPML. Symptoms: The checkout page is displayed in the wrong language for one of the languages. Questions: How can I ensure the checkout page is translated correctly? What steps should I follow to fix the language issue on the checkout page?

Please try this workaround: - Visit this page hidden link - Download the .mo file, following this step-by-step: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-localization/#downloading-translations-from-translate-wordpress-org-manually - Rename it to "woocommerce-de_AT.mo" (or the correspondent default locale you're using for the Austrian German language) - Now get access to your website files and go to the wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder - Paste there the file you just downloaded and renamed - Go to WPML -> Themes and Plugins localization - Check the " WPML has detected changed or new MO files" warning, and scan all the files It should be solved after this. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes. Thank you.

Lucas Vidal de Andrade Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hey there. We found a workaround. Please make a full website backup and follow these steps: 1. Go to Pages and open the Checkout page. 2.Slightly edit the field that require translation, for example, add a blank space at the end of it; 3. Do that for all fields that show untranslated in the Austrian Version; 4. Translate the page to Austrian German. 5. Remove the blank space from the original page and save. Let me know if that works for you.
