Bigul WPML Supporter since 01/2013 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Thank you for the updates. In some cases, the strings might have been recognized but not yet associated with the String Translation panel. Please follow these steps: - Navigate to WPML >> String Translation >> Utilities. - Click on “Not seeing strings that you are looking for? >> Admin Texts Translation”. - In the Admin Texts Translation screen, search for the missing strings. - If the strings appear, select and add them for translation. Then, return to the String Translation panel to translate them. You can refer to this documentation for more details. hidden link https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#register-admin-and-setting-strings-for-translation Have you tried this already? If not, please give it a try and let us know your feedback. -- Thanks! Bigul

Bigul WPML Supporter since 01/2013 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Thank you for the login information. I noticed the strings are not displaying their translations correctly on the product posts, such as the ones listed below. Please confirm if this is correct. hidden link hidden link I have a quick question: how are these strings being managed? Are they part of the theme files or added through an Elementor template? I could not find any relevant settings under WooCommerce shipping, and no shipping-related plugins appear to be installed either. Please clarify this. It will help us troubleshoot the issue more efficiently. -- Thanks! Bigul

臣新伍	It should be created by the theme, I can change them in the custom editor, but I searched for a long time in the string and couldn't find it

Bigul WPML Supporter since 01/2013 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Thank you for the updates. Could you please let us know the steps you are following for the action mentioned below? This will help us identify a possible workaround. It is possible that the template itself needs to be translated instead of translating the individual strings. It should be created by the theme, I can change them in the custom editor, -- Thanks! Bigul
