Problem:
You are trying to translate strings in the

admin_texts_wpseo_titles

section using WPML String Translation, but the translations are not appearing.
Solution:
1. Navigate to WPML -> Strings Translation -> Translate texts in admin screens.
2. Search for the specific strings you need to translate.
3. If the strings are not already added to Strings Translation, add them.
4. Change their language from the default (English) to the desired language (e.g., Chinese) in Strings Translation.
5. Translate the strings as needed.
6. The translations should now appear correctly in the script.
Repeat this process for any other strings you need to translate.

Hi, and thanks for the access details.

I could solve this issue on your site. Here is what I have done.

1. I went to WPML -> Strings Translation -> Translate texts in admin screens.

2. I searched for 峻新電腦.

3. Two results were not added to Strings Translation, so I added them. Please see the attached screenshot add-to-st.jpg.

4. I changed their language from English to Chinese in Strings Translation. Please see the attached screenshot chng-lang.jpg.

5. I translated those strings.

6. Now, it is shown translated in the script. Please see the attached screenshot script-ok.jpg.

You can repeat the same process for any other strings you need to translate.

Can you please confirm that the issue is solved now?

Thanks,
Itamar.
