Problem: You are working on a site using WPML to translate pages and have encountered an issue where only the title of a page is displayed for translation, while other elements like small tools and product collections are missing. Solution: If you are trying to translate WooCommerce pages, remember that they consist of shortcodes, and typically, only titles should be translated. For translating other content such as theme tools or WooCommerce shortcodes, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to WPML->Strings Translations->Auto Register strings for translations. 2. Enable the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option. 3. Visit the page on the front-end where the string is shown; this action will automatically register strings from that page. 4. Return to WPML->Strings Translations->Auto Register strings for translations and disable the previously enabled options. 5. Search for the strings in WPML->String Translations and translate them.

Problem: You are developing a site and want to translate the WooCommerce shop cart and other pages using WPML, but when you open these pages, they return a 404 error. Solution:
The WCML add-on from WPML creates translations for WooCommerce Cart and Checkout pages in the setup wizard.
If WooCommerce or your theme do not provide translations for the Cart and Checkout pages, you can translate them yourself. To do this:
1. Go to WPML > Translation Dashboard
2. Scroll to Other texts (Strings).
In the All domains dropdown, select your theme or plugin domain.
Choose the strings you want to translate and send them for translation.
