Woocommerce gutenberg checkout product block not getting translated

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

Problem:
The Gutenberg checkout block integrated with WooCommerce is not getting translated on the frontend.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend enabling the 'Automatically load the theme's .mo file using 'load_textdomain'' option in WPML-> Theme and Plugins Localization. This adjustment resolved the problem for the client.

morteF	Background of the issue: Gutenberg checkout block has been integrated to Woocommerce, but are not getting translated in the frontend. If I activate "Auto register strings for translation" under "String translation", then everyhting works, and the fields are translated. 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: Checkout fields are not translated Questions: Why are checkout fields only translated when i activate "auto register strings for translation" in the String Translation menu?

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today. I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated. Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it. ❌ Please backup your database and website ❌ ✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical. ✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site. Best regards, Osama
