<\/a>Changing the map language and directions<\/h3>\n

The default language of your GeoDirectory maps is English, but you can change that to any language supported by Google maps. This is how:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to your WP admin \u00a0area<\/li>\n
  2. Navigate to GeoDirectory<\/strong><\/em> > Design<\/strong><\/em> > Map<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Under default map settings<\/strong><\/em>, change the language at\u00a0Default map language<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This will also change the directions given on any listing detail page, when visitors enter their address in the directions<\/strong><\/em> field below the map.<\/p>\n

    To translate other language strings related to your maps (like Enter Your Location<\/strong><\/em> below the map on the detail page), review the core translation article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    <\/a>Translating country names<\/h3>\n

    <\/i> This only applies if you use the Location Manager (MultiLocations).<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Translate the countries in the language file of the core GD plugin (review the core translation article<\/a>).<\/li>\n
    2. In your WP admin area, navigate to\u00a0GeoDirectory > MultiLocations > Translate<\/strong><\/em> Countries<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    3. Select the countries you want\u00a0to translate, and click Update<\/strong><\/em>.<\/li>\n
    4. This will change the country name and the country URL site-wide.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
