I have translated our site using WPML. Up until a few days ago certain meta texts in the product pages showed in Swedish in Swedish pages ("Art.nr:" and "Kategorier") and in English in English pages ("SKU" and "Categories"). Now I was made aware of that these meta texts shows in English also in the Swedish product pages.
Also text from the plugin Advanced Product Fields Extended for WooCommerce is now shown in English in the Swedish product page (Product total, Options total and Grand total).
As a workaround I have tried to copy the single-product meta.php file to my child theme with the Swedish wordings instead of English, but with no change. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41726713/how-to-change-sku-to-a-custom-text-in-wordpress-woocommerce)
I have tried to translate these wordings using WPML string translation, but I cannot find them. In the plugin Loco Translation, it is possible to find the Advanced Product fields wordings with Swedish translation (see image), but they show up in English all the same.
My guess that the whole problem is due to a recent upgrade of a plugin, and as the problem only appears in all three Toolset content templates, I send you this question.
EDIT:
I found the wordings from the plugin Advanced Product Fields Extended in WPML. See the attached image. As stated above, those wordings appear in English in the Swedish product pages.
Don't know if this helps but... but I just discovered that if you create a new product from scratch, with price and SKU, and then press preview instead of publish, the words SKU and Categories are shown in Swedish (Artikelnr. and Kategorier).

Do you have an example product I can look at where I can see the problem?
The first product I checked displays correctly in Swedish (screenshot).
I'm working on this now.
The markup does indeed point to Toolset, because you are using a custom template for these products created with Toolset, and the block that generates this problem section is a Product Meta block from Toolset WooCommerce Blocks.
Toolset uses a variant of the standard WooCommerce meta.php template to output the spans with the actual texts. There is an option in the settings for the block (screenshot) that allows you to select whether the block output should be generated by the Toolset variant of the template or the WooCommerce template. In the case of this particular template (meta.php) there is very little difference I can see in between the two, and the output on the front end is very simple and so doesn't appear to be affected by switching between the two.
But! Having changed the setting on your staging site to use the standard WooCommerce output rather than the Toolset block template output, the translations appear to be working as expected.
This is somewhat odd. As I noted above, the templates are virtually the same, and I can't spot what would cause the problems on your site using the Toolset variant output.
Can you confirm that switching the output choice for the block works across different products that use the same template, and that if you do the same on your production site it also fixes the problem?
Hello
Well, yes and no. In our production site "www.nordtec.se" I copied the woocommerce template meta.php to my child theme and translated the wordings SKU and Category and Categories into Swedish. After that the product meta block in the content template now is in Swedish (after changing the Toolset setting to "WooCommerce native output"), (2 weeks ago I did not have to modify the meta file, so what happened?).
However the block just above the meta block with the wordings "Product total", "Options total" and "Grand total" still shows in English. Look here (and in the attached image):

Which makes me wonder if the whole thing is a problem with WPML after all? That block ("Advanced Product Fields Extended for WooCommerce") is not included in the content template, the products that include that block are added in the plugin settings for that specific plugin.
It can't be a coincidence that both blocks suddenly appeared in English, on Swedish product pages?
What do you think?
Yes I did copy meta.php into the child theme also in the stage site (see my original question where I explained all the steps i tried out), but it did not have any effect (until the setting for the meta block in the content template was changed today). I now have deleted that file in the child theme, and therefore the texts SKU and Categories now are shown in English again.

And yes, you can do what you deem necessary on the stage site. If it brakes I will just create a new one :-).
