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

Problem:
After translating a product, the term "ΜΕΓΕΘΟΣ" which corresponds to 'size' was not being translated.
Solution:
We found that the attribute name strings were registered in English, which is often considered the default language by many plugins/themes. To resolve the issue, we changed the source language of those strings to Greek and then provided their translations into English. This adjustment corrected the translation issue. We recommend checking the attached images for guidance and referring to our documentation on how to change the source language of strings for detailed steps: How to Change the Source Language of Strings.

Please note that this solution might not apply to your case if it's outdated or not relevant to your specific situation. If this is the case, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also 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,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

Most of the plugins/themes consider English as the default language for the strings. So the Attribute name strings were registered in English. Changing the language of those strings to Greek and translating it to English has fixed the issue.

Please check the attached images and the following documentation for more details.
