String Translation Only Working When Scan Is Turned On

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

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with translating strings in THE EVENTS CALENDAR on their WordPress site. The string translation only functions correctly when the String Scan feature is enabled.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps to resolve the issue:
- Access your site's file system via FTP and navigate to the /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Views/V2/Views/Traits/ folder.
- Open the List_Behavior.php file and locate line 39.
- Replace the existing code:

if ( ! isset( $this->context ) ) {

with:

load_plugin_textdomain('the-events-calendar', false, plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/languages/');<br />if ( ! isset( $this->context ) ) {

- Save the changes and clear the caches on your site and browser.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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.

daniL	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate some THE EVENTS CALENDAR strings on my site hidden link. It works fine only when I set the String Scan to on. Symptoms: String translation only works when the String Scan is turned on. Questions: Why does the string translation only work when the String Scan is turned on? Is there a permanent solution to translate THE EVENTS CALENDAR strings without keeping the String Scan on?
