It will show the screen like below, where you can enter translation in each language which you have configured for your store.

Also, Automatic translation for strings is a feature in WPML that allows you to automatically translate text strings, phrases, and labels used throughout your website.

Rather than manually translating each string, WPML can take care of this.
