This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needed help translating tax labels and terms and conditions on their WooCommerce checkout page into multiple languages using WPML.
Solution:
We advised the client to use the WPML String Translation module to translate the strings. Here are the steps we recommended:
1) Navigate to WPML>>String Translation.
2) Search for the strings that need translation.
3) Change the language of the strings from Greek to English.
4) Translate the strings into Greek from English.
For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on how to change the source language of strings.

Please note that if this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I just made the website hidden link and added WooCommerce. Everything is perfect but I want to translate a tax in all languages and also translate the terms and conditions into Greek because it is only in English. I have sent attachments to show the sections that need translation.

Symptoms:
I watched the documentation but didn't find something.

Questions:
How can I translate a tax in the checkout page into all languages using WPML?
How can I translate the terms and conditions into Greek using WPML?
