This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client reported two issues: Firstly, the 'Add to basket' button on the checkout pages for individual products in Traditional Chinese displayed in English, and the relevant string was not found in WPML String Translation. Secondly, after changing the default language back to Traditional Chinese, the language settings on some backend pages were reversed.
Solution:
For the first issue, we advised the client to enable the 'Include translations' option within WPML->String Translation to locate and translate the string correctly. A screencast was provided to assist in this process: https://www.loom.com/share/b6b76dc6f22b49e6a4b73ab13b7e58c6.
For the second issue, we identified it as a separate problem that needed escalation, and we created a new ticket for further investigation.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 the problem persists, please open a new support ticket for further assistance.

There is also a small issue—on the checkout pages for individual products in the default language (Traditional Chinese), the “Add to basket” button appears in English. However, I couldn’t find the relevant string in WPML String Translation to modify its translation.

If possible, please also record a screen video of how to modify the translation of this button.
Thank you!

Thank you.

Please see the following screencast:

The string was translated to 'basket' for CN and that's why you were not able to locate it.

To find it I had to enable the option to "Include translations" within WPML->String Translation.

Let me know your results, please.

Thank you very much! The issue has been resolved!

However, when I changed the default language in the backend back to Traditional Chinese, I encountered the same issue again. On some pages, the language setting at the top and the displayed language are reversed (the language setting at the top shows English, while the backend page displays Chinese, and vice versa).

Example of the error page:hidden link

Please Bob Support to help me resolve this issue. If possible, I would also appreciate a screen recording of the process to fix it.

Once again, thank you so much for your assistance, Bob Support!

I was able to reproduce the issue, I will split this into it's own ticket because we will need to escalate it.
