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

Problem:
You are trying to apply translations to some strings on WooCommerce pages, specifically for Login, Wishlist, and Cart, but the translations are not being applied.
Solution:
1) For strings like 'Cart is empty' or 'Wishlist is empty', these are typically managed by your theme. You should first set these strings in the default language by navigating to Customizer > WooCommerce > Cart page > Empty Cart, and then translate them using the WPML String Translation.
2) For strings such as 'Cart text' or 'My account' in the sidebar widget, these are also added from the theme options. Ensure these strings are correctly set in the default language before attempting to translate them.
If you are unsure where these settings are configured, we recommend checking with your theme's support team.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, please visit our support forum to open a new ticket.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,

thanks, what you shared are different parts of your website that you need to translate.

1) Cart is empty / wish list is empty is string coming from your theme and you need to add default language and then translate.

For example Customizer > WooCommerce > Cart page > Empty Cart, and then translate via String translation.

2) Cart text / My account in sidebar widget, this is added from theme option.

In general is not to an WPML issue with translation, you need to adjust all of this strings first to show correct in default language and then you can translate. If you not sure from where it was set, I advise to please check with X store support.

Drazen

Hi,

Thank you!

There is an issue with posts that have been translated via WPML: when switching the front-end language to English, most remain untranslated and still display in Greek.

Only 4 of the 12 posts are shown in English when selecting English from the language switcher.

Could you please investigate? These posts are located under Company > Our News.

Best regards,
Stelios
