Problem: You are trying to apply translations to some strings on WooCommerce pages, specifically for Login, Wishlist, and Cart, but the translations are not being applied. Solution: 1) For strings like 'Cart is empty' or 'Wishlist is empty', these are typically managed by your theme. You should first set these strings in the default language by navigating to Customizer > WooCommerce > Cart page > Empty Cart, and then translate them using the WPML String Translation. 2) For strings such as 'Cart text' or 'My account' in the sidebar widget, these are also added from the theme options. Ensure these strings are correctly set in the default language before attempting to translate them. If you are unsure where these settings are configured, we recommend checking with your theme's support team.
