There are two plugins in Discount Rules for WooCommerce:
Woo Discount Rues
Woo Discount Rules PRO 2.0
In the above video, why we choose "Woo Discount Rules PRO 2.0" plugin for translation?
Reason: Since "Discount" and "Free" texts are part of buy x get y rules and it a PRO feature. ie.., pro translations has to be done in discount rules 2.0 plugin (PRO pack).
Meanwhile, the string/ text you are trying to translate is available in free pack, then you can choose core plugin (Woo Discount Rues) and translate it.
