Hello SureCart team

Issue:
Some strings are not translatable

###

Steps taken:
- Added translation files with the method no. 2: https://surecart.com/docs/translating-surecart/
- Set both site language and store language to the preferred target language.
- Verified file names follow the correct format, including the plugin text domain and language code, and placed them in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ directory.
- Also tried placing the translation files in /wp-content/languages/ (as it states in the docs, but I think ../plugins/ is the correct one).
- Deleted empty translation files from the plugin’s /surecart/languages/ folder to prevent them from overriding correct translations.
- Double-checked the availability of the strings, to make sure it’s all translated.
- There is no caching on the website.
- Noted that some other translations are working correctly as expected, so the files are loaded correctly after all.
Strings examples:
Remove, Tax VAT, Add Coupon Code, Card number, Expiration date, Security code, Country
I’m aware that some of them exist in the .pot template file, yet translating them doesn’t work as expected.

###

Request:
Please review whether these untranslated strings are properly registered for translation. Kindly advise on how to proceed to resolve this issue.

Best regards

Update:

I discovered that some strings can be translated using WordPress patterns in my case, and apparently some of them were overriding the actual translation made in my .pot file. I focused on translating the checkout for customers, but not the administration part. Still, I am unable to translate some strings e.g: Remove, Tax VAT, and the field names for the payment.
