jeppeK-2	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate the block-based cart and checkout pages in WooCommerce, similar to the issue discussed in this thread: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/the-check-out-page-is-only-partly-translated/. I want to maintain the new design of these pages and not revert to the old design. Symptoms: Some languages translate fine, but Finnish does not. I expected the page to be translated to Finnish, but it remains in English. Questions: How can I translate the block-based cart and checkout pages while keeping the new design? Why is the Finnish translation not working while other languages are fine?

Let's see if Finnish translation will show up, given that they should be translated in hidden link

jeppeK-2	The translations work fine in this sandbox. But they do not work in my site, why is that? I have a staging site that I can give you access to.

Bruno Kos Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+01:00)	Can you install https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-manager/? I'd like to try something - to remove mo/po files from your site and add those from the Sandbox to see if that's where the issue is.

jeppeK-2	Done!

Bruno Kos Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+01:00)	It looks like File Manager will not work, probably blocked by the host as I get HTTP error 500 on hidden link. Can you provide me with FTP instead?

jeppeK-2	Looks like there is another file manager installed which works. Please see hidden link

Bruno Kos Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+01:00)	If we change locale here hidden link, to match the translation file it works. hidden link Would this work for you?

jeppeK-2	Perfect, that works! I had no idea. Thank you. While I have you: I cannot find a way to translate the "sub heading" that I have added below EU VAT number in checkout. The string "Kun for EU-virksomheder. Ellers skal du lade stå tom." This does not show up in the "translate to english" popup as opposed to other custom text that I add. Can you see why?
