<\/span>This Doc describes how to translate the custom fields you can configure in the GeoDirectory Settings.
If you only use one language on your site, you can still use this process to change some field labels and descriptions that are built-in.
Follow the steps below each time you update the custom fields settings on your site with new fields.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Translating Custom Fields with POEdit<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Run the DB Translation tool at GeoDirectory – > Status – > Tools – > DB Text Translation<\/strong> to create the db-language.php<\/strong> file<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Find file called\u00a0db-language.php<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0that you will find in your geodirectory<\/strong><\/em> folder on the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Copy all files in the\u00a0geodirectory<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0folder to\u00a0your computer:
    \"\"<\/figure>
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Open the\u00a0\/wp-content\/plugins\/geodirectory\/geodirectory-languages\/geodirectory-en_US.po<\/strong>\u00a0file with poEdit<\/a>:\u00a0
    \"\"<\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  5. From the\u00a0 catalogue<\/strong>\u00a0menu, choose\u00a0Update from sources …<\/strong>:<\/p>

    \u00a0\"\"<\/p>
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n

  6. That will re-build the\u00a0 geodirectory-en_US.po<\/strong>\u00a0file:<\/p>

    \"\"<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  7. Save the file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. You now have a new base language file including the new custom fields. You can now use that file to create your other language files, read more at How To Translate Or Localize GeoDirectory<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
