dimitriosG-4	I am trying to: Translate some WooCommerce related strings from English to Greek (I've done this 20+ times before). The strings are in the String Translation table, and I have followed every forum resolution I could find on the topic. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link and hidden link I expected to see: For the first link, "ADD TO CART" should be replaced by "ΠΡΟΣΘΗΚΗ ΣΤΟ ΚΑΛΑΘΙ" (greek for add to cart) and on the second link, I should see Greek translations on the "Remove" buttons, and on the shipping calculator: hidden link I have tried: - Scanning themes and plugins - Admin screen strings - Auto-register (when it is on, the translations work) - WP_DEBUG (there are no errors) - Server logs (nothing relevant) - Regenerating .mo files - 'load_textdomain' - Increasing Memory limit to 128M - Clearing WPML cache Please help me solve this, for my sanity mostly. Thank you in advance.

dimitriosG-4	Updating WPML fixed my issue. Note that the updates weren't showing up on the Plugins tab, only on the Commercial tab after I clicked Check for updates. Thanks @Drazen!
