[Resolved] My strings are not translating with AUTO REGISTER STRINGS FOR TRANSLATION disabled

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

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with strings not translating unless the 'AUTO REGISTER STRINGS FOR TRANSLATION' is enabled. When this option is disabled, the strings do not translate.
Solution:
The issue stems from the Give Plugin not loading its text domain correctly, which prevents WPML from translating the strings. This problem is due to changes in how text domains are loaded in the latest major WordPress release. We recommend contacting the Give Support Team to inquire if they are aware of this issue and to check if an update is planned to resolve it.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket with us at WPML support forum.

But I can't have this enabled constantly?

Questions:
Why do my strings not translate when AUTO REGISTER STRINGS FOR TRANSLATION is disabled?
Is there a way to translate strings without having AUTO REGISTER STRINGS FOR TRANSLATION enabled constantly?

In this case it is the following errror:

PHP Notice: Funkcija _load_textdomain_just_in_time je bila klicana nepravilno. Translation loading for the give domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later.

This error explains that the Give Plugin is not loading its text domain correctly and this is why WPML can not translate those strings. The way trext domains are loaded changed in the last major release of WordPress.

Please reach out to the Give Support Team and ask them if they are aware of this issue or if there are already plans for an update to solve the issue.
