[Waiting for user confirmation] Woocommerce checkout blocks, not getting translated
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
WordPress 6.7 has introduced a new issue that impact translations, please update WooCommerce and WPML to the latest versions before you report issues. More about this here - https://wpml.org/errata/php-error-wp-6-7-notice-function-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called/
Background of the issue:
I'm trying to translate Woocommerce WC-blocks, but some strings are not getting translated, or string are missing.
A lot of WC-Block title string are present in 'String translation' but are not getting translated. Example:
'Order summary'.
I'm also seeing some strings that are not in string translation, which are not translated, but I expect them to be. Examples:
'Shipping to %s', 'Including %s vat', 'Use same address for billing', 'Add a note your order'.
I have deactivated every plugin on the site except Woocommerce and the WPML suite, the problem persists.
I have changed the theme to the standard WordPress 2024 theme, the problem persists.
All language and translations have been updated, the problem persists.
All plugins have been rescanned and string translations saved, the problem persists.

Symptoms:
Strings are not translated.
Questions:
Why are some Woocommerce WC-block strings not getting translated?
Why are some strings missing from the 'String translation' section?
What steps can I take to ensure all strings are translated correctly?
Being impatient, I've been seeking resolutions. I installed Loco Translate, to see how that behaved: I was able to sync the missing strings through their "sync" function and translate them in the original .mo file. Then I re-scanned Woocommerce for strings in WPML, where they are now showing, but the new strings are still not translatable through WPML - I can only translate them through Loco Translate, which just saves to the original .mo file (I disable Loco Translate when working in WPML).
Just to confirm, I'm checking the strings on the checkout page and the cart page in DK -see attached images-. Could you tell me if you are checking a different page?
Yes, they are the same strings. If I for instance change the translation of "Order summary" in string translation from "Ordre oversigt" to "Ordre oversigten" nothing happens in the frontend on the checkout page.
