This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client is using WPML to translate their website but encounters issues with missing translations in certain sections. Translations only appear correctly when the 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' option is enabled. Disabling this option causes translations to revert to their original state. The client has tried clearing the WPML cache and syncing links without success. Solution: We suggest that this might not be a WPML issue but rather related to changes in how WordPress 6.7 handles language files and translations, particularly with WooCommerce. Here are the steps we recommend: 1. Review the developer advisory on translation loading changes in WordPress 6.7 at https://developer.woocommerce.com/2024/11/11/developer-advisory-translation-loading-changes-in-wordpress-6-7/ 2. Consider rolling back to an earlier version of WordPress as a temporary workaround. 3. Disable WPML and its addons to confirm if the issue persists, indicating it might not be related to WPML. 4. Check if the issue is resolved in the latest WordPress update 7.6.1. 5. If problems continue, contact the Woodmart support team for further assistance.
If these steps do not resolve your issue or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
We are currently using WPML to translate our website at hidden link but have encountered issues with missing translations in certain sections, despite having translated these strings through WPML's string translation tool. When we enable the 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' option, the translations appear correctly. However, if we disable this option, the translations revert to their original untranslated state. We have already tried clearing the WPML cache from the troubleshooting menu and have also synced all links.
Symptoms:
Not loading all the translations.
Questions:
Could you please advise on any further steps or configurations to ensure our translations display correctly without having to keep the 'Look for strings' option active?

Hello,
This might not be a WPML issue, as WordPress 6.7 changed how language files and translations are handled and there is a known issue in reagrds to WooCommerce.
Please read this: hidden link
Possible workaround:
Rollback WordPress to the earlier version (Not tested)
If you think that this issue is not related, please let me know.
Hello we dont know what the issue is. We have a secound client hotfarm.eu and we see a separate problem.
We translate the Menu button in Woocommerce using WPML.
The original translation translatest Menu to Навигация, but we want to change it to Меню and the moment we do that all the translations brake. If we return the original translations all is fine and well.

Do I understand right, that the site default language is Russian and you are trying to change a original string on WooCommerce?
If so, please take note that this is very likely not a WPML issue. You can confirm this by disabling WPML and our addons. If the issue persists, then it is not a WPML issue.
(Take note that you might need to change the WordPress default language to Russian once you disable WPML)
Also, please take note again of the following known issue that will be solved the upcoming WooCommerce update: hidden link
Hello, No both of the website main language is Bulgarian.
We made a copy of quanta.keyweb.bg and did a wp rollback.
All the translations work fine. We cant do the same with Hotfarm.eu.
If you want we can provide an account to acces quanta stage website for testing.
About "Updating WPML and WooCommerce should solve the issue, unless another third plugin is casuing issues"
Each month at 15-th we do updates. After updating the WP Core and plugins we don't see improvement.
We use Woodmart and we have alot of websites with that theme. We still dont know if the problems is with WPML or WP. The only thing we know is if we roll back to 6.6.2 version of WP all of the translations work.
We will try to contact Woodmart too. After the update of WP 7.6.1 some of your website with woodmart got fixed. But some of them didnt. And yes we did tested the manualf fix with no luck

Yes, the latest WordPress update 7.6.1. should usually solve the issue.
If you are still experiencing issue, this might be a topic for the Woodmart support team. I am sure they must be already aware of this problem and might be able to provide you with a quick workaround.
