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

Problem:
You are trying to add Montenegrin language support to your WordPress site using WPML and have set the currency to EUR. However, the cart, checkout, and product pages automatically translate to English instead of Montenegrin or Serbian using the Latin alphabet.
Solution:
First, ensure that you have set the default locale for your custom language to

me_ME

, which is the default locale for Montenegrin in WordPress. Next, since WooCommerce's language files for Montenegrin are only translated to 1%, you will need to manually create translations. Use WPML > String Translation to translate the strings for the cart, checkout, and product pages. If these strings do not appear on the String Translation page, you can find guidance on how to locate them with these documentation links:

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.

Hello,

Please send me a screenshot from WPML > Languages > Edit languages. I need to know the settings for your custom language.

You need to translate the String with WPML > String Translation, as custom languages are not supported with the default language files coming from WooCommerce.

If you need any assistance with this, please let me know.

Please set the default locale to:

me_ME

This is the default locale for Mentenegrin in WordPress.

Until today WooCommerce's language files are only translated to 1%:
hidden link

You will need to create the translations yourself in this case in WPML > String Translation.
