Background of the issue:
Our site's default language is Estonian. I had a problem recently that a lot of WooCommerce strings were showing in English although they showed up as translated in WPML. Since WooCommerce is the only plugin we need translated, I decided to fully reset WPML, reinstall it and re-activate it. As soon as I did that, most of the WooCommerce elements on the frontend appeared translated to Estonian perfectly.
Symptoms:
When I searched for the strings in WPML, I couldn't even find them after re-scanning the WooCommerce plugin. They are just translated somehow and no idea how it happened.
Questions:
What could be going on with the WooCommerce translations?
How can I gain control of the translation situation?
I regret any inconvenience caused, but to proceed with troubleshooting, I kindly ask for a snapshot of the site. Alternatively, with your permission, I can create one myself. For this purpose, I typically recommend using the free plugin "Duplicator." If you're already familiar with Duplicator (https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/), please skip the following steps and simply send me the archive file you downloaded.
To guide you further, please adhere to these instructions:
1. View the Duplicator instructions video: hidden link
3. If the archive file exceeds 400MB, please use Duplicator's file filters to exclude cache, wp-uploads directory, media, and archive files.
Once you have the archive file ready, kindly share the link with us. You can utilize platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar for file sharing, as the snapshot file might be large.
Please note that your next reply will be private, visible only to you and me. You can paste the file link there. Rest assured that once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local site.
