String translations

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

Problem:

You are trying to translate strings in your WooCommerce shop which is coming from the XStore theme using WPML, but translations are not being applied. Specifically, the 'Quick View' string remains in English on the Ukrainian version of the site, and you do not have the 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' option available.

Solution:

We recommend following these steps to resolve the issue:

1) Navigate to WPML>>Support page, and click on the Troubleshooting link.
2) On the Troubleshooting page, click on the following options in the *Clean up* section and wait for confirmation of processing after each one:
- Clear the cache in WPML
- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
- Fix element_type collation
- Set language information
- Fix WPML tables collation
- Assign translation status to duplicated content
- Fix terms count
- Fix post type assignment
- Cleanup and optimize string tables
3) Go to WPML>>Theme and plugins localization.
4) Scan for the *Xstore* theme (parent) from the *Scan strings in themes, plugins and WordPress* Section.
5) Navigate to WPML>>String Translation.
6) Search for the strings and translate them.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case.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. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Thank you for the feedback. The actual reason for the string translation issue was the original strings from the Parent theme were missing for translation. Rescanning the theme strings and WPML Troubleshooting steps help us to fix the issue. You can try it on your original site after a full site backup {mandatory}. Please note that I have opened a new ticket for the Product Variation issue. As per our support policies, we can address only one issue per ticket. This approach allows us to assist you more efficiently and keeps discussions focused. I will respond to the new ticket shortly. Thank you for your understanding. -- Thanks! Bigul
