Problem:
The client is using the 'WooCommerce Product Tabs' plugin and is unable to find the new string for product tab titles in WPML > String Translation. Additionally, many 'WooCommerce Product Tabs' strings are marked as 'pending with the hourglass' and are not appearing elsewhere.
Solution:
We recommend following these steps to resolve the issue:
1- Go to Products -> Product Tabs and access the trash (or click the link to your trash directory).
2- Delete the French product tabs.
3- Open the file .../wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-product-tabs/src/Product_Tabs.php.
4- Locate line 60 and replace the code:

$wpt_tabs[ $key ]['title'] = esc_attr( $prd->post_title );

with:

$wpt_tabs[ $key ]['title']               = esc_attr( $prd->post_title );
            // WPML Workaround for compsupp-7241
            if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) {
                $string = $wpt_tabs[ $key ]['title'];
                $textdomain = 'WordPress';
                $string_name = 'WPML Workaround : '.substr($string, 0, 20);
         
                $wpml_default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
                $wpml_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
         
                if ($wpml_default_lang == $wpml_current_lang ) {
                    do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', $textdomain, $string_name, $string );
                }   
                // Apply the translation to the string
                $string = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $string , $textdomain, $string_name);
         
                $wpt_tabs[ $key ]['title']   = $string;  // Replace the title
            }

5- Go to WPML > String Translation, enable the option 'look for strings while pages are rendered' at the bottom of the page, and visit a product with the tabs so WPML includes the new strings.
6- Go to WPML > String Translation, search for the tabs titles, and translate them.
