gvidoD	I deactivated all plugins, installed the latest wpml version and switched the theme to the default one. Still got this issue that i wrote about in the chat with payment methods not being translated.

Bruno Kos Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hi, As far as I see, this is another case of https://wpml.org/errata/in-some-cases-some-strings-are-not-translating-properly/. So payment gateways titles and checkout translations only work when "Look for strings while pages are rendered" is active. However the thing is that I am unable to find any of these within either string translation or admin strings. That's why I escalated this case to our 2nd tier supporter who is a specialist for these issues. In the meantime, can I ask you the following? In order to debug this issue, can you install Duplicator plugin and create packages? https://wpml.org/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/ Let me know if this is OK with you. Regards, Bruno Kos

Bruno Kos Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hi, We may have found a cause of this and a solution. The website requests the MO files, but they don't exist. Can you try this on your site? - Go to Woocommerce > Settings >Payments and click on "Manage" to edit the payment method - Do a small modification on the title (I added "test1"), change the language of the string to English and save - Go to WPML > String Translator > Translate texts in admin screens - Find the string (e.g. [woocommerce_bacs_settings]title) and add it to String Translator - Translate the string - Go to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting and click on "Show custom MO Files Pre-generation dialog box" - Generate MO files - After that, the strings are displayed on front-end. Does it work? Regards, Bruno Kos
