Noman WPML Supporter since 06/2016 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	I went to WPML >> String Translation and found the subject string at the top of the page. I saved the translation, and it worked fine as you can see in the attached screenshot. I also saved the translations for the other two strings, and they saved without any problems: hidden link It might have been a temporary glitch. Could you please try again and let me know if it works? Thank you

lamineD	Hi, It's the same on PRODUCTION. I was able to save the string, BUT the one we deleted is now inversed. French is English: hidden link Please advise. What about the XML code you added? <wpml-config> <admin-texts> <key name="woocommerce_yith_wcbk_customer_booking_notification_before_start_settings"> <key name="subject" /> </key> </admin-texts> Do I keep it? Regards

Noman WPML Supporter since 06/2016 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Glad to hear you are now able to save the strings. Yes, you can remove the XML code now. For that string, please follow the below steps: 1. Go to the WPML >> String Translation page. 2. Select that string. 3. Assign the English language using “Change the language of selected strings” dropdown as you can see in the attached screenshot. Here is a doc for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/ Please let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance. Thank you for your cooperation
