Thanks, we have sorted out this topic on "From" and "PCS", appearing after the price. But here I have recorded for you a short video displaying my concern before we now move this development site to the live site domain: hidden link

I don't think it's needed to nuke the site for this. if you delete the strings from WooCommerce and WordPress the russian text will disappear and will be translatable again, that's probably the safest bet here to leave everything cleaner.

You mentoned that you had initially installed WP in russian but at one point you installed WPML and then you selected that the page was in latvian, so that confused things here.

In these cases it should be as easy as to delete these strings and then get them from the WordPress ecosystem directly by going to dashboard > updates > click the button under "Translations". However, in here it seems that for some reason something blocks this procedure, since it says "unauthorized" when downloading the elementor one and it force-exits the procedure. I found a way to do this by just using the files that were installed in the past or were stored in the plugins. I went to WPML > Scan themes and plugins and scanned everything.

That did the trick and all you have to do now is translate the rest via either String Translation ("default" domain and "woocommerce" domain) or translation management (which is recommended if you want to use automatic translation to do this faster).

here's my entire troubleshooting: hidden link

You might want to speed it up if you want to see all I did.

Thank you very much, Alejandro, let me go through your steps and try to translate again English WordPress strings into Latvian language

I see that no longer I have these Russian menu names on the site. But I see some of the strings, which were already translated in Latvian, now have appeared in English. So that means I just have to go now find all the strings that I need to be translated from English to Latvian and go to the Translation manager, and do the automatic translation. Right?

Dear Alejandro, the problem with this Elementor translation was because we discontinued the license for it. Now we have renewed the license, and that Translation update went OK.
I have reinstall WordPress again as per your instructions, but when I go to default strings to delete them, I realized that I have six times more strings than you had in your demo video. What happened? From where did these extra strings came from? I am now afraid to delete as per your instructions, those default strings to avoid breaking the site.

I took a risk and deleted all those strings and magically most of the Russian language problems disappeared. Still, I see in the default strings that it shows all strings are translated in Russian language, but not in any other. But at least the interface is clean now.

There are two strings that I could not find anywhere. They are in the product review section which is in the middle part of every product: hidden link

And this is the second phrase, which I could not find where to translate it

Just found one more strings that I could not find where he lives. It should be somewhere in Woocommerce or in the some plugin

Please ignore all the previous messages as I have managed to resolve all of those issues.

We have successfully moved the development site to the live site place, so please use this link to troubleshoot the only remaining issue that I have: hidden link

Here is only one which is left and for this one I cannot find a solution. Please have a look at the screenshot.

I am so frustrated with this Translation stuff. I came across again, so many Russian words getting into the translation. Then I ran again, deletion of all the default strings. After that I have lost some translations that I did before. For example, the one that you can see now in the attachment, it appears again. All the languages kept their translation, apart from Latvian language.

Reinstalling, Latvian language WordPress should not be executed anymore, because that destroys some of our core shop structure. But at least I would like to find where these strings that you can see in this screenshot live so that I can finalize the Latvian translation.

Also, all strings for month spelling have disappeared from the string translation...
I feel like a dog, which is chasing its own tail, just running in circles... 🙂

Here you can see that the word March is somewhere, and it was in the string translation before, but now it disappeared

Maybe after deleting default strings, I actually had to reinstall latvian language WordPress? And that is why I have lost some of the strings like month string translations? Please, advise
